Depends on what the lantern is powered by, and if wooden ships were that flammable, then they would have only been able to sail during the day :rolleyes:
Not true. Fires were the most common disasters on sailing ships. Ironically, fires continue to be a major problem, even on board steel military vessels.
Think about it. The ships were made of wood. Salt water causes wood to dry out faster than normal, and leaks between timbers were sealed with a combination of rope and gloriously flammable pitch. Also, to limit the prevalence of vermin (lice, ticks, and fleas) sailors waxed back their pony tails (barbering at sea was costly of time and used expensive tools) with that same pine tar. That’s why sailors were called tars.

This will be a fun brawl, keep them coming
The puns, how they burn…
So for how long and incurring how much damage does Typh need to decide she underestimated the captain’s skill set?
Hard to say. I’m pretty sure that Typh won’t admit to any such thing unless she beats the captain.
I think hitting someone with a lantern on a wooden ship, may not be the best idea.

Yes, butt not fires caused by lanterns
Mostly fires strarted by common everyday items such as lanterns, yes.
