The Autumn Rose Incident

The Autumn Rose Incident was a terrible disaster that happened on Hammer 19th at about half 1 in the afternoon.
A Bruisers' ship, the Autumn Rose, a square-rigged orange-sailed frigate, was cast off from the Whillenheath Drydock by Tarfwen, Defessus, and Lewis. They fought Bruisers on board but eventually abandoned ship. It sailed straight into the north end of Cross Island, hitting the docks, taverns, houses and striking the fort of the Golden Flock too.
Few people were onboard, but the real damage was caused by the impact and the six onboard powder kegs. 
The ship struck Cross Island and turned the entire north area into a mangled wreck that promptly caught fire due to the power explosion. The Flock's two main taverns were destroyed by the decks of the ship sliding onto land and crushing the buildings in their path, and the Flock's fort had its northeastern walls shattered. The toll was monumentous and fires began to spread, meaning that a lot of effort was directed at stopping them. Many Flock members and innocent people perished in the crash and burn.
