Oh, so now you’re suggesting I’m connected with this one as well.

If the timbers have disintegrated, and we are looking (in the photo) at the ceramic roof tiles as stored, does it seem that they were stored asymmetrically?

They are stacked in one direction on the left of the photo, in another orientation in the center, and that appears to be it. No corresponding balance on the right.

Could this have led to a fatal list?

Just curious.

(Moot if something perishable was loaded on the right of the photo, I know.)

I’d say no, they knew how to load their boats. Could have been standing on end with other materials holding them in from each side, but anything perishable (like the wood structure of the boat) would be all or mostly gone.

Not only that, but I'm sure you had an Altariel motive.
