That can done, Sire. However I thought it was an excellent use of leftover bones of past miscreants, as once they have been boiled up for soup several times there isn't much else to do with them - otherwise they become a trip hazard by their sheer quantity.

In any case the current crop of benighted souls wouldn't be able to sail anywhere; there is an ongoing drought in these here parts and there is barely enough water to allow a dribble for each prisoner to wet their lips more than once a week.
