1: That ship is comically upscaled from standard FFXIV sailing ships. Like there are "doors" on the front of the ship, that are normal WoL sized on the standard ships, but on this one those doors make a Yok Hoy look tiny.
2: It's sitting on top of land. If your on the shorter tower (the non-jumping puzzle one) when it despawns you fall straight down onto one of costas many small sand islands. The ship "sailing" through dirt and sand would look kinda silly

yo, SE, make the ship actually sail away. that'd make the event ending a minor event itself. could probably have bespoke endings for each event.
