In addition to the above reasoning, there's no mention of these people actually drowning. The ship is capsized and that's it, which feels unusually specific. As for why they're on the ship, no one goes out into the middle of the ocean on a small hand-powered boat, and anything larger than that requires people to operate/navigate it. I'm not fully convinced that Byakuren knew the ship would be capsized immediately, either. Also, I always thought that Byakuren was imprisoned because she was found helping youkai instead of exterminating them. Murasa's the only acquaintance of Byakuren's specifically mentioned to be imprisoned, and this part of their backstory is the only one in which people are involved, so it's possible that this was the reason why she was thought to be dangerous in the first place.

That ship is either the exact same one that Murasa was on when she drowned or a recreation of it. It's not too far-fetched that she was haunting the same spot where the ship was and that it was restored via *~magic~*. The alternative explanation was that Byakuren knew exactly what Murasa's ship looked like, made a copy of the ship herself, capsized it on the exact spot that they would encounter one another, then returned later and lured Murasa to that exact spot, all without actually encountering Murasa beforehand.

Well, /jp/ may not be the best place for strong moral guidance and highly intelligent conversation. No one pays any mind to anything positive she's done, either.
