N.Sanity Beach Traversers

The N.Sanity Beach traversers are two shipwrecks washed ashore on the southern coasts of N.Sanity Island, and are remnants of a golden period of Wumpian exploration that ultimately yielded few fruits. The two ships suffered minimal damage in their journeys, and have been washed ashore possibly to be used another day. At least one of the ships remains to be fully functional, while the stability of the second ship is debatable given the worn nature of its hull. Wumpians have had a long history of being amateur sailors, and their explorative periods have been marked with consistent failures. The purpose of these expeditions is believed to have been to explore the boundaries of the three islands. It is believed that few Wumpians if any, have ever left the borders of the three isles of their archipelago. Poor conditions have worked against their already poor naval knowledge, as strong tides constantly bombard the island.

The interior of the ships bear several small musical instruments, which are believed to have been accessories in naval chants employed by sailors. These chants were believed to help the natives receive protection from their idols. The use of sirens is believed to have been a tradition among Wumpians as well, as their superstitions around water led to it being seen as a dangerous and corrupt entity. Other items found within the ships were sports balls, likely used for some kind of derivative of handball. The presence of the sporting equipment lead some to believe that the travelers sailing the ships planned only to sail domestically or perhaps even recreationally.

Dating and Wear
The ships date to the most recent minor Wumpian exploration period, and are even possibly private ships that were used to travel intercontinentally. The ships are in good condition, apart from some mold growth in some of the wood, specifically on the first ship which has had its entire right hull fractured by mold damage.

Design
The ships are small and have identical designs which are entirely crafted out of wood (like most Wumpian construction), and feature the figurehead of the Mayan deity Hurican, (or perhaps Yulak). The figurehead is believed to have been placed by the Wumpians to try to protect themselves from the dangerous tides of the Haupe sea, as caused by the environmental impacts of Neo Cortex's operations on the archipelago. The lining of the ship is also inscribed with several idol odes.

Purpose
The ships were used together and sailed together during the same time period, and are believed by most to have been exploratory vessels used during expeditionary endeavours of the Wumpian peoples. A more modern theory has lent to the belief that the vessels are the same ships mentioned in the story of Wumpian poet Nuk. Nuk, in his epic poem Filfamesh, wrote about the adventures of Wumpian explorer Doste, and his eventual return to N.Sanity Island to live a humble retirement on its beaches. His ship was described as having a "violet head which shone in the waters like a beacon", and though the paint is now faded it has been carbonic ally identified as being once purple or rose in color. It is believed by some that ships may still be used as trade routes between the N.Sanity and Wumpian Indians.
