Shipwreck

There's a user on the Reddit internet site named spAnser that frequently data mines the files from the game server to look for any changes in code or any text or images that might hint towards a new update or new troops.  He's actually leaked many of the new troops and updates days or weeks ahead of Supercell's official Sneak Peaks, so the information he finds is pretty reliable.  About six months ago, he posted this to Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashOfClans/comments/576aqr/misc_spoilers/

This post accurately leaked many updates that would eventually come in a future update (the new Halloween decorations, the new air defense level, and the new hog rider and golem levels).  But he also found images of a shipwreck:

He also found a .csv file that had info related to the shipyard, seeming to indicate that it unlocks at TH4 and costs 50,000 gold to fix (kind of like how there's a broken clan castle, which you can repair to create/join clans when you first start the game).

Anyways, this was leaked 6 months ago, and there hasn't been any news about these shipwreck images or any confirmation from Supercell officials.  Until this hit this morning:

The gist of the update reads:

What we know aboat the update:

• Not Town Hall 12.
• No level 13 walls.
• Its unique from any update, and it's huge.

Everyone is assuming that the misspelling of 'about' to 'aboat' is deliberate and they are purposefully referencing the boat/shipwreck rumors.
