      If the word is not on the list, it is created and becomes available to others. Hover over or tap a load or a support to see its name.

      Invented data. Everything is generated at random to test the format. In the real work, each person would choose an area, whether it is a load or a support, a word from the list or a new one and, optionally, an age band, a situation and whether they have a disability or are neurodivergent. A person reviews new words before they are shown, in case someone writes something that identifies them, such as a name or a specific place. The four disability categories (physical, mental or psychosocial, intellectual and sensory) are those of the UN Convention, used by both the European Commission and Spanish law. Neurodivergence (autism, ADHD…) is listed separately because, to be recognised, it has to fit one of them. No names, no free text and no medical data.

      How to read the ship

      Loads
      Crates below the waterline. What weighs on each person in one area of their life, even when it is not their fault: a dismissal, a flooded home, loneliness.
      Supports
      Buoys above the deck. What keeps a life afloat: friends, a good team, a day in the countryside, someone who helps with paperwork.
      Currents
      What moves the whole fleet at once: an economic crisis, a pandemic, a war, a Europe-wide heatwave. This is the polycrisis. If your own home floods, it is a load; if the climate worsens for everyone, it is a current.
      Load line
      The Plimsoll mark, made compulsory on British ships by law in 1876 to prevent overloading. Political decisions are not the sea: they are the rule that sets how much load is safe. Here the line asks where the safe load of a life lies, and who should paint it. It scores no one.
      2040
      A rehearsal of the future, not a prediction. “If nothing changes” extends the trend: more loads, fewer supports. “With load lines” comes from a second round of questions in which people choose which loads to lighten and which supports to reinforce. Here that choice is simulated.
