Player Ship Sinking

There is no player elimination in The Everrain; the game continues until all players win or all players lose collectively. If a player's ship is sunk, or if the player loses all Crew members, the old ship becomes a Shipwreck, and the player respawns with a new ship at the nearest unoccupied Port. The procedure for this is:

• Refresh all the Order tokens. Discard all Crew members, coins, Schematics, half your Clues and all except one Treasure. Discard (not banish) any enemies On Deck. (You get to keep all Improvements and Artillery you may have.)
• Remove the ship from the Game Board, replace it with a Shipwreck token. Place your remaining Clues and Treasures on the Shipwreck token (these can be claimed as loot later). Place your ship minature on your Ship Board. Note: while the Shipwreck token is of a similar size and shape as a one-hex Storm token, unlike the Storm token, the Shipwreck token doesn't disable the function of the map space under it.
• Advance the Elder One token (not the Enemy Discovery token) one step (towards lower numbers) on the Discovery Track.
• On your next turn, place your ship at the closest unoccupied Port from where you sunk, collect 1 Deckhand at random, 20 coins and then take your Turn as usual.

Note: the rulebook doesn't say anything about what to do with installed Upgrades in this case, neither to discard them, nor to put any new Upgrades on the new ship, so unless Grimlord Games clarifies this otherwise, it seems reasonable from a gameplay perspective to assume that the Upgrades are transferred to the new ship.
