Is it Historically Inaccurate to include the Brothel Boat when by 1843 it had not only been destroyed twice by a Morally Outraged Mob but also had an unrelated building built at its old location to discourage the construction of any more? Yeah. But consider: I wanted to draw it.

Panel 1 [Ezra looks over at Josué, shot over Josué’s shoulder. In the background, the flurry of the docks is fading away as they move further inland.]
EZRA:
I was nervous as hell when we spoke, but he was real agreeable to seein’ my experience.
Panel 2 [Shot from behind showing both men’s backs and more ramshackle-looking buildings rising up to either side. Josué is pointing at Ezra.]
JOSUÉ:
Good, good! You bring us home 2000 barrels, Ezra, and I’ll heave an oar here n there to help you feel supported.
EZRA:
Hah, that means the world to me Josué.
Panel 3 [Closer shot from over their shoulders, as they both look at a ‘building’ in the background. It’s a derelict whaleship raised up on stone blocks by the water’s edge with a house built on top of its hull. There are a number of figures leaning on the railings that encircle the ship in a raised porch. A sign over the door reads ‘Ark Nantucket’.]
Panel 4 [Josué gestures to the building with a grin, as if it’s a long lost friend. Ezra’s nodding at it, but has angled his body away a bit.]
JOSUÉ:
Ah! There she is; the only whaleship I’ll lovingly board.
EZRA:
You go on ahead.
