Capall Fearghach

The Capall Fearghach was a Raidhsénian ship that was built with the intention of being the flagship of the Raidhsénian state navy. However it sank on its maiden voyage because at the time it was not understood how to control such a large vessel.
When the Capall Fearghach was built, she was the largest ship ever constructed. It was a giant raft, with several floors. However, when leaving the harbour, a sudden change of currents forced the ship towards Eóchaid island. The oars, despite there being hundreds of them, were unable to move the ship as it is too large to be steered with the available level of technology. The ship was crushed against the reefs east of Eóchaid, and over 300 rowers and crewmen drowned.
The disaster provoked an outrage in the Lar An Talamh which forced a change in government.
