There's a burst of flame and flash of light
There on the tide is a frightening sight
As the tall ship in flames lights up the sky
It's been one of my favourite songs, and I finally found a suitable stone for it. A burning ghost ship on jasper, will be a brooch in a classical metal cast I think

Some woodcuts for you from our 1541 Lazare de Baïf text, Annotationes in legem II De captiuis & postliminio reuersis. While he discusses the rights of captured soldiers and their later return to freedom, he gets a bit distracted by a reference to ships and explores Greek and Roman naval ships for most of the book.
