She’s known among sailors as The Veiled Lantern‑Bearer — a ghostly woman carved from driftwood and black oak, her lantern forever lit with witch‑blue flame. Legend says she was once a Charleston widow who waited on the docks for a husband lost at sea. When she died, her spirit refused to rest, and Bootstrap Ginny found her story carved into the prow of an abandoned shipyard hull.

Ginny had her likeness restored, veil and all, and hung a real lantern from her hand — one that never goes out, even in the fiercest storm. The crew swears that when danger nears, the lantern burns brighter, and the figurehead’s eyes gleam like moonlight through fog.
