Thought this would be easy, until I realized there's not clear way of saying
"in it" in this sense-- you can't combine the loc.prep. _ri_ with pronoun
forms. Why not? Because.  So--

aposi yu re mawuwik ri ondeni
ship that REL I-fled LOC inside-its  is most literal (onde is acc.,
indicating "location at/in" but seems funny, almost as if an error for
...ri ondeyeni (Dat., motion to) ...'into which I fled")

aposi yu re mawuwik umitni/yambitni
..............   use-of.it/by means-of.it  seems to capture the sense best.

Or perhaps a paraphrase: aposi yu re mawumit vara (maw)uwik 'the ship that
I-used in.order.to (I-)flee
