Ezra’s got some panicky lads on his hands.

Panel 1 [A small inset panel of Ezra speaking with an intrigued expression]
EZRA:
Maybe that’s the feelin’ of a ship with stories to tell.
Panel 2 [Panel outside, showing the ship on the water in the dark, its prow and its foremast, as Ezra’s voice is overlaid over the scene]
EZRA:
She seems like she has a lotta them in her.
Panel 3 [Narrow panel showing Bastien and Joseph talking to each other, but their dialogue is overlaid in panels 4 and 5.]
BASTIEN:
Agree, sir. Her timbers feel heavy, d’you get what I mean? Like she knows things we don’t.
JOSEPH:
Right! Like she’s in on a joke…I coulda sworn I heard the riggin’ laughin’ at me in the wind. Mother Carey’s chickens were flying over when we set out, did you see ‘em? And leaving on a Friday? Yeesh…spooky.
Panel 4 [Low angle shot from below of the mainmast. Boatsteerer Francis Goldwhit is climbing up the rigging to the masthead. The moon is out, the stars]
Panel 5 [Shot of the rigging swaying in the breeze, close up of Francis in it]

Yay, love panels where we get to see the ship a little more. I’m sure it’s a pain to draw, but she’s so pretty!
She is very handsome for a whaler…
the shrouds have alternating ratlines and shearpoles! was this common on larger vessels? i sail a 72 foot brigantine and her shrouds only have one shearpole each, at the bottom
No lol, this is my movie set rigging–I don’t know how square riggers work; don’t look too close at anything structural about this ship! I think this was a result of me…hybridizing different references of ratboards and ratlines together which, noted! I shan’t do in the future.
