Concept Photos And Artwork For Some Ship Designs

Every sailor knows how the unforgiving heat can cause even the most steadfast of minds to unhinge.

Tasked with scraping off barnacles from the hull, Baltus sat dangling off the side of the ship while it was moored in the bay of a small island. His eyes caught movement from the corner of his eye. Turned his head to see and was greeting by a woman sitting on the rocks. Sweat dripped in his face and he raised an arm to clear his vision, but the woman was gone. Left behind were ripples in the water and empty, salty rocks.

“Storm be brewin” the bosun mutters, a tightness in his tone of voice. Back home, rainclouds meant nothing. But on the sea they mean something entirely different.

Back home they mean a warm fireplace. They mean family together around the hearth with a hearty meal and a steaming tea.

On the sea, storms mean hardship. A weathering of body and spirit. Crackling fireplaces are replaced with crackling thunder and lightning. Winds that stir up swells taller than mountains.

It’s here where sailors get separated from landlubbers to salty dogs. It’s here a sailor truly understands the meaning of “Hold Fast".
