## `board`

      board ship
      * time: 0 days
      * priority: 2

Pay a fee to board a ship operating as a ferry. If a maximum fee has been set with `maxpay`, no more than that amount of gold will be paid as a boarding fee (see See maxpay).

The `board` order requires that the ship be operating as a ferry. In other words, the ship's captain must have set a boarding fee with the `fee` order.

The `board` order will fail if the ship is already overloaded, or if the ship would be overloaded if the stack boarded the ship.

Note that the `board` command, unlike the `move` command, ignores the admit list of the ship's captain.

Passengers waiting to board a ferry should use `wait ferry`. Ferry captains should sound their horn before departure with the `ferry` order.
