• time: 0 days
• priority: 2

Pay a fee to board a ship operating as a ferry. If a maximum fee has been set with maxpay, no more than that amount of gold will be paid as a boarding fee (see See maxpay).

The board order requires that the ship be operating as a ferry. In other words, the ship’s captain must have set a boarding fee with the fee order.

The board order will fail if the ship is already overloaded, or if the ship would be overloaded if the stack boarded the ship.

Note that the board command, unlike the move command, ignores the admit list of the ship’s captain.

Passengers waiting to board a ferry should use wait ferry. Ferry captains should sound their horn before departure with the ferry order.
