Is it Historically Inaccurate to include the Brothel Boat when by 1843 it had not only been destroyed twice by a Morally Outraged Mob but also had an unrelated building built at its old location to discourage the construction of any more? Yeah. But consider: I wanted to draw it.

Transcript:
Panel 1 [Ezra looks over at Josué, shot over Josué’s shoulder. In the background, the flurry of the docks is fading away as they move further inland.]

EZRA:
I was nervous as hell when we spoke, but he was real agreeable to seein’ my experience.

Panel 2 [Shot from behind showing both men’s backs and more ramshackle-looking buildings rising up to either side. Josué is pointing at Ezra.]

JOSUÉ:
Good, good! You bring us home 2000 barrels, Ezra, and I’ll heave an oar here n there to help you feel supported.

EZRA:
Hah, that means the world to me Josué.

Panel 3 [Closer shot from over their shoulders, as they both look at a ‘building’ in the background. It’s a derelict whaleship raised up on stone blocks by the water’s edge with a house built on top of its hull. There are a number of figures leaning on the railings that encircle the ship in a raised porch. A sign over the door reads ‘Ark Nantucket’.]

Panel 4 [Josué gestures to the building with a grin, as if it’s a long lost friend. Ezra’s nodding at it, but has angled his body away a bit.]

JOSUÉ:
Ah! There she is; the only whaleship I’ll lovingly board.

EZRA:
You go on ahead.

Going to Weather is a 3 Act nautical ghost story set on a New England whaleship. Updates in batches monthly.

1843. New Bedford is the city lighting the world, with its wealth drawn bleeding from the ocean depths. Whale oil lamplight glazes domestic life and spermaceti candles burn long at the tables of the rich. Their warm glow belies the brutal work that set them there.

From the chaotic harbor bristling with ship masts, a cobbled-together crew boards the whaleship Valor bound for the Pacific. Among them is Lawrence Manner, a landsman hoping to shed his onshore life, and Ezra Carter, a second mate striving for a captaincy in a nation that has few other options for him.

The ship’s master—Barzillai Waite—has built a reputation of great success, returning time and time again with thousands of barrels of oil in the Valor’s hold. But the Captain’s lucky image is dogged by a tale that he was once the sole survivor of a wreck at sea. The Valor, now on her fourth voyage, somehow feels older than she should. And out on the isolated stretch of ocean, as the tryworks smoke and bubble, an unseen and unwelcome passenger begins to make itself felt.
