Here's a diagram of the relative position of the ships:<br/><br/>(http://i52.tinypic.com/11in8jq.jpg)<br/><br/>Ships not to scale. The target ship is heading north, and the Courtesan southwest. They're about a mile apart and closing.<br/><br/>Many of the deckhands would be doing there usual chores, then be rushed to the gun deck when the captain calls all hands to stations. I'm working on a rough layout of the inside of the Courtesan, but for now, the gun deck is one level below the main deck.
