That same ship transported Yang to Mistral, in fact, so this just raises more questions. I guess with the timeline the way it is, we can assume some time has passed between when Blake was dropped off at Menagerie and Yang was taken to Mistral, but it seems more likely Yan got on the ship in or around Vale. So a ship that travels all over Remnant, apparently, and based out of Vale is supposed to be a ship they can just hit up and have with them at any moment. A bit much. I guess if the White Fang really do have some way to make long-distance communications then perhaps the ship captain could get them another ride somehow.
