Pistons:
When the sign for the ship size (eg Indiaman, Galleon, brig) is used, it will check for DOUBLE_CHEST, PISTON, and PISTON_HEAD (including sticky pistons). If this is =true, the ship will stay locked, and you will get the message ‘Ship is locked with XX block’.
Barge:
No, sadly not. Barges are largely used by players who want trains or automated transport, as you only have to add coal and they will automatically sail. There aren’t a huge amount out there; probably the least used ship size.
Sailing multiple ships:
If you want to transport several ships at once, simply connect the two ships with any blocks that are allowed on ships (for example wool blocks). This will make the overall ‘craft’ larger and will require a new sign to be made reflecting the ship size.
For example: if you found 5 schooners near each other, connect them into one craft by either joining up the blocks or ramming into each other. You will have merged the ships together to make one giant ‘craft’. For schooners (max size 500 blocks), 5 of them would make the craft a ‘manowar’ – so I would need to place a manowar sign and sail the joined-up ships as one big ship.
This is how people steal ships in claims – as long as the ship doesn’t have a lock block (doublechest/piston). They usually sail a small dhow with the signs [helm], ‘dhow’, and ‘manowar’ (if the ship you’re stealing is a manowar), then sail the dhow into the bigger ship, /release it, and re-pilot it as a manowar. Once you are out of the claim, players will break the small dhow (as its ugly), and they will have a new manowar to add to their collection.
