- How damaged it is.
- What it was built for (warship, cargo ship, and so on).

You may also make a mariner check to learn more about the ship, its crew, its captain, or other details the GM allows.
At GM discretion, you can also spend 10 minutes studying a ship up close to get additional information.

With GM permission, you may be able to repair other parts of a ship as well.
An improvised item is one made out scrap or temporary pieces. It functions like any other item, but only exists for 8 hours before falling apart and becoming destroyed. It is easy to tell whether an item is improvised. Interacting with an item is enough to determine if it is improvised or not.
