That's what I'm thinking. It would be the easiest way to permanently lose the cargo.

The cargo (regardless of what it is) floats in crates if the ship is destroyed. The crates can be destroyed too though.

You can't dismantle any of the sailing vessels or the carts. You have to break them with your axe. To make sure that you recover all the materials make sure you have both the weight and inventory spaces to recover the materials, make sure taht auto gather is turned on, stand on the mast, chop with your axe. When the boat breaks you will drop into the water but all the materials will go into your inventory. (Your nails won't sink.)

Have you guys played the game? You can not dismantle boats.. bench + middle mouse button does nothing.

I really wish the devs do make them dismentle. Whacking at it is a chore

Maybe it's an anti-grief feature? People could drop a workbench and instantly dismantle your vehicles with no real defense or ability to react.

OMG that would be hilarious.. haha.. another reason I do not play with random people.. would never have crossed my mind lol

Drop a bench (1 click), middle-button on mouse with hammer (2 clicks). Done and done. No need to stand there whacking at it.

middle click with the hammer to destroy anything and get back the mats although the nail will sink to the bottom of where your boat is

Honestly, as your get better and better axes, breaking them down doesn't take much time at all. Just make sure you stand right at the mast to make sure you collect all the materials when it finally does break.

tried, doesn't work, at least, not on rafts.
