BRASSWAKE · Every Repair Moves the Waterline

An original portrait-first ship damage-control puzzle. Before each published wave, stage exactly one action: seal a breach with a heavy brass plate, pump a wet compartment, move the four-mass ballast trolley, or hold. Plates, bilge water, cargo and ballast share one longitudinal mass model. Their moment changes trim; trim changes which seam crosses the next waterline; the resulting leak adds more mass before the remaining compartments are evaluated.
