Personally, I’d have moved onto submarines. Just sneak up underneath a ship, cut a hole in the bottom and steal the containers without anyone ever noticing you. 😌
If this is a serious question… There is an infinitesimal chance of puncturing a vessel of that size while underneath it to plunder its hold’s contents via the same hole — especially at the aforementioned tech level of the time.
Even if you could avoid detection in the process of completing the hole, anyone sent through to retrieve the loot would be crushed in transit and arrive aboard as some variation of a frothed bio jam — with or without the membrane that otherwise held them more or less together up until that point in their presumably harebrained life.
Hey, the exodus from that other place brought sufficient halfwits with it to promote an SOP of clarification, etc , if only for their effect on the overall atmosphere here. Minor as it may be, it’s a risk worth considering — and the ol’ benefit of the doubt is a viable tool, per yoozj. 🫠

That’s…
That’s not how buoyancy works at all. 😅
Are you suggesting they would be more worried about the containers being stolen than their boat sinking from the giant hole in the bottom?

I’m talking about pirating goods with a submarine that can cut holes in the bottom of ships.
Of course I am 100% serious. /s

I always appreciate actual facts, regardless of whether or not it goes with the joking around. As long as it’s not presented in a dickish manner. 😊
