Two finite verbs cannot be just posed in the same form. I think it's "gets" not "got".

"the" is used with any noun when the meaning is specific. Here it is specific, that the ship is INDIAN.

Use of past perfect tense dosent make sense here. So we are using "simple past".

'Drown' is used for living things, especially when talking about human.
'Sink' is used for non-living things.
Eg, The ship sank rapidly in the water and suddenly everyone started drowning.

Drown means that you die because you get too much liquid of some kind in your lungs. Normally, this means you sink in water, try to inhale it, and die that way. Also, if something is not alive or doesn't breathe air, it cannot drown, but it can sink. Fish and ships can both sink, but they can't drown.
