Original boats?

[htabdoolb]

Does anyone else remember the ships that travel between Butcherblock and Freeport being different? I seem to recall them being of a different design, with multiple decks and a different sail. You could even go inside the ship, or climb up onto the upper deck at the rear to watch the waves go by. Is there a reason why that ship design isn't being used? I definintely remember them visually glitching out after Luclin was launched, and eventually being replaced by porting NPCs. Perhaps that's why.

Anyway, just curious if anyone knows the answer. Or remembers the same ships that I do.
