A Sphere of Annihillation destroys that which it hits. This could be
taken to mean that it would only zap the individual boards (on a wooden
ship) it hits, however, the desrtuction is accomplished by sucking the
destroyed thing into it. This would inevitably draw in more boards, so
I'd say that the ship is destroyed if hit, as would everything below
decks. People above decks are not, and if I was feeling nice, people
below decks would get a save vs. Death to get out in time. OTOH, if I
was feeling nice, I wouldn't have used a Sphere of Annihilation in the
first place, would I?
