Because the ships might go to different directions(maybe)
Peyton Beahan
Ships with iron hulls can cause a compass to become unreliable because iron is a magnetic material that can create magnetic interference. This interference can distort or disrupt the Earth's magnetic field, leading to incorrect readings on a compass. The presence of the iron hull creates a localized magnetic field that interferes with the proper functioning of the compass.
