Ship Names

35 items

A ship name has to sound like it was painted on decades ago by someone who meant it, which rules out anything clever. These thirty-five follow the traditions that actually produced good ones: a virtue, a bird, a threat, or a woman nobody will explain. Draw one and the vessel has a history before you write a word of it. Real boat owners should note the superstition about renaming, and draw before the purchase rather than after.
