Unique Effects
The Chest of Sorrow sobs periodically, releasing a high volume of water onto the ship carrying it. Water must be continually bailed out via Buckets while it does this, and/or the chest must be held offdeck. It can be carried along the outer ladders, or on a detached rowboat.
The chest also attempts to "swim away" if dropped into the sea, so it cannot be stored in the water while players explore islands. A player must generally stay behind to care for the chest, or it can be placed on land.

A female version of the Chest of Sorrow was originally planned.
The chest leaves a puddle of tears around it when crying inland.
The Chest has come to be known colloquially as the "Kevin" chest, in recognition of one legendarily whiny pirate. "Kevinning" opposing ships is often used as a shorthand for using the CoS to sink another ship.

BUG FIX: Fixed a bug where the chest won't flood the ship if kept on a rowboat that then docked.
