Why is there the use of を with 行ける


I came across this bit of dialog in a game

> 「深海」に行きたいっぱ！だから船 **を** 行けるようにしてほしいっぱ！

I know it, more or less, says:

> We want to go to the deep sea! Because of that, we want you to make sure
> that the boat can go!

But I don't understand why the を particle is being used in the second
sentence. I would have expected で in this case, because the boat is how
everyone would get to the deep sea (i.e. via boat). Why is the を particle
being used here and what is the second sentence actually conveying?

Context: A group of people want to go to a deep sea area, but they need the
local craftsman to reenforce the boat so its actually possible.




The second sentence literally means "We want to make the boat be able to go."

So the boat is the object the protagonist wants to act upon, that's why you
need を and not で. It's not that they want to go by boat, they want to do
something to the boat to make it work.
