Poem on the seas, where winds blow fierce, and seas sway high.

This is a book that will explain why I assign genders to ships. If you look at my comments on YouTube video on ships, you may have noticed that I use gender-specific terms for ships. I also mentioned that in my 'Titanic meets Thomas Lynskey' story I call Titanic a he. Link is provided here: https://my.w.tt/1fLpuAHLd8 Keep in mind that I am not a conspiracy theorist, as I don't expect you to take me too seriously. Assigning genders to ships is something that I have a habit of doing. Though that makes reading ship related information difficult, as many articles refer to many ships as female.

For years, the Steel Maiden has dominated the seas of the West Indies. Its crew, led by the notorious Captain Ryker, are the envy of every ship that has ever sailed; uncompromising, fearless and uniquely skilled in the arts of piracy. Under the strict aegis of their captain, these pirates have stole and plundered their way across the length of the Caribbean basin. The avenging ships of the Royal British Navy, feared custodians sent to jealously guard their holdings in the American colonies, have been sunk on numerous occasions by exceptional feats of bravery and precise volleys of cannon fire. But the era of unrivalled control enjoyed by the Maiden may be coming to an end. A new power has emerged in the West Indies, a black ship that sails with impunity and leaves only death in its wake. Rumour and intrigue surround this ship; tavern girls speak of a captain able to hypnotise men with his mere gaze, old fishermen whisper of a dead crew; a collection of shades unable to find peace in this life or the next. Undeterred by these tales, Captain Ryker sets out to find this ship and re-establish his dominance over the waves. In the midst of the fires of revolution, heroes will clash and legends will be forged in the first instalment of the Sea Wolf Chronicles; an epic tale of conflict, deceit and piracy, all topped off by a healthy dose of rum and brine.
