Quoting this thread, where I posted a saved game: Fixed - Castaway start gets error papers in ship chest and weird invisible item near chest | PiratesAhoy!
Should have posted as a seperate bug report back then, here it is again:
2) There is a weird unretrivable invisible item near the ship chest. You get a hand icon over it, but no actual item gets picked up when hitting spacebar, and I can't see an item.
This persists as you change ships, as long as the ship has the smallest (lugger or sloop style) interior scene.
Perhaps, what is happening is because the castaway starts with one of those, the dinghy, but his version has no cabin, something gets messed up when you trade up to a real one, with some item persisting perhaps?
EDIT: Confirmed it is caused by the Dinghy. Started with a swordmaster with the dinghy ship, cheated and bought an immediate upgrade to a lugger, weird item is there.
EDIT2: Also confirmed the weird invisible item persists any time the player trades ships to a small sloop/lugger interior ship. It goes away if you go to a different interior scene ship, and then returns if you purchase the smaller scene again. It does not exist for officer commanded small interior scene ships.
So it seems some permanent modification of that ship scene occurs for the player controlled ship.
