Sorry what, Lucas blew up the ship? where was this said? I assumed it was Eveline who destroyed it.
Eveline was acting up on the ship even before it got near the Baker Plantation which definitely didn't help things, but she wasn't the one who blew it up.
So Lucas' whole deal in RE7 being about explosives isn't coincidence, IE the exploding cake, exploding TV, trip wires, exploding boxes. He has this big thing for explosives as the game makes very clear. We also know when he was kid he is super into engineering and robotics, as well as sports. Also his parents seemed to have suspected there was something wrong with him but not in the way there was ACTUALLY something wrong with him. Notes from the 2000s/early 90s shows some sides of the Bakers before Eveline and the like came into their life. Marguerite was taking Lucas to the local hospital to be mentally checked. He basically was a genius in some fields, but mentally handicapped in others the game more than subtly hints at. Of course, his parents didn't see he was also deep down quite twisted and thought he was a 'good boy'. It's also why despite the fact he's in his 20s he is living with his parents and his room is still like a child's room (and despite being a genius in other ways, his spelling is terrible).
Lucas is infected like everyone else, but he's being provided a chemical by an unknown third party to block out the mind control, and he's spying on Eveline and his family for the organization. Now the current popular 'theory' is that Lucas met this organization and was contacted and provided this deal after he was already infected, but that doesn't make any sense. If he met them after Eveline would've already known about his spying since she would already be in his head as he was already infected. And the whole mine system and facility next to the Baker Plantation that's literally connected to the Baker Guest House basement wasn't built in a day.
Eveline was already infesting the ship and going haywire into her obsession with family before this, so it might have been fate it was ultimately going to wreck anyways. But Eveline doesn't cause the multiple explosions on the ship to go off simultaneously. She wasn't planning to wreck the ship, just to convert everyone to her family. Now for timeframe, we see that Mia encounters Eveline, and Eveline breaks apart the section of the ship that Mia is on which causes Mia to be flung out. Mia she looks around as she falls and see's multiple segments of the ship exploding all at the same time and everyone being pushed out to the bayou, and then she falls into the water.
Now Eveline's 'supersonic wave' thing doesn't cause explosions, we see her use this later in the game and when she uses it that rips off the hull that Mia is on it doesn't explode, just tears it off.
Now the time frame of this has Lucas telling his father he 'found' a wrecked ship in the bayou, and the only two survivors they find are Eveline and Mia. Also pay attention to where the ship crashes at. It's literally right next to some organizations facility, laboratory ad mines, it's not even an arms throw away. The location it very much not coincidental. To mention with this, Eveline wasn't on the ship either, she was found in the water like Mia, implying she was blown off the ship as well. The files at the end of the game credits sequence mentions that Eveline being separated from the needed stabilizer has never been tested past 6 months, but this unknown organization wanted to see what happened with an Eveline unit being off stabilizers to her own ends over a prolonged amount of time (which is why the file ain the credits from 2014 mentions they didn't know much about the mold and corpses and hadn't tested past 6 months of no stabilizers, this was very much a planned experiment to have Eveline away from her stabilizers for an extended period of time, essentially an experiment and not an accident.).
In Eveline's Room there's several child pictures. One is of the ship and it exploding, but among those being blown off the ship is a drawing of herself. But it plays into what she wanted anyways, as we see in another picture in the same area everyone gets to rest here and become her family.
The Baker Family even before everything happens were already involved in some shit. The construction of the shadow puzzles in their house some other questionable elements were put in their house in the 90s & early 2000s. There's evidence in the receipts and other elements about that the Baker Family had their fingers in some pies, as it were, even before this all happened.
Probably the bits that'll shine even more light on all of this will be the upcoming "Daughters" chapter in the Banned Footage DLC and the upcoming Not A Hero DLC. But there's a lot of evidence the Baker's weren't just by chance victims of the ship crashing.
