as previously stated, many of the expeditions you are proposing are impossible, like the trip to Atmora. It's like this

-sea of Ghosts = named for the difficulty of safely travelling it.

-sailors like being alive, therefore, they do not want to die/push their luck.

-those who do go will have to have lots of food and supplies for the journey, and be prepared to fight if attacked.

-they will have to be able to get back across the perilous seas, again risking their lives.

so I guess it is not impossible, just extremely hard to do
