At the end of all my sessions, I like to give my sloop a funeral.
I end my sessions at outposts. I purposely ram the ship to spring leaks, then steer it to catch the wind a let her go. I jump to shore and play a shanty until she finally sinks.
@oneeyed-w1lliam sink as many ships as possible until we run out of cannon balls.

We do something similar, except we load up as many powder keg barrels onto it, then set it off while playing a sad shanty as she sinks.

AYE! We sink her by ramming her into a rock!

Scuttle the ship and play music as it goes down.

Lol, I typically just ram it to some nearby rocks, let it sink, and then whip out my musical instrument, start playing the sad tunes.

We always end by turning in all of our loot at an outpost, sitting there for a few minutes in quiet while we run around doing nothing of use, and eventually one of us calls it quits.

Solo? I sit at the outpost until I'm disconnected.
When I'm with my crew, we almost always have tons of powder barrels. While it's a bit soon to call it tradition, we like to line the deck with the barrels and snipe one, then play a shanty as our glorious vessel sinks.

Crashing my ship on the beach or docks as I'm bringing back my loots to the outpost, then watching it sink
(I always hope I will see it fly off like in the beta but it looks like this funny bug is fixed now, sigh)

Step 1) Climb crow's nest
Step 2) Vote to Scuttle
Step 3) Pull out instruments
Step 4) Play a sad sad sad song until the ship is gone gone gone.
Alternatively I've been in groups where sailing out of the map is the better choice to scuttling.

The good old "scuttle and shanty" for me. It always feels good to give a vessel a proper send off.

We like to gather on the ship, pull out our instruments and play a tune as we scuttle the ship.
