to day i got my indiaman killed by two boat, it had 1200 whit oak log on it , and i couldn't loot it to save my trade , is there a rule preventing you from looting a your ship which ogt sunk ? i never saw tha i can"t loot a boat , and it is very painful when it's a week worth of production ...

Just to ask the obvious question, was the deck below water by the time you came around to loot it? There is a finite time to get to a ship before the looting becomes unavailable.
