In the lore of maritime tradition, sailors reference all ships as a 'she,' considering their vessel a haven of safety in what Melville calls the 'landlessness of sea.' The boat is a divine force, able to bring forth or withhold the fruits of open water. When christening a new vessel, the captain would often inscribe the name of a close female - a wife, a mother - as a symbol of the loved ones back home.
Emblazoning a familiar name into the ship engraved their spirit into each voyage, reminding the sailors of those personal anchors on land. Thus, wherever the ship would travel, it would carry the love of those left behind, sail forth with the luck of calmer waters, and set sights on finding success in the journey so its sailors could return swiftly to welcoming arms.

The framing is different from Spiritiles in that, instead of a box frame, the enameled copper panel is mounted to a birch and pine block (medium walnut finish & sealed) and designed to float from the wall. The Houston Llew logo signature hot branded stamp appears on reverse. The block mounts for each panel have holes for hanging (same as Spiritiles) and are also wired for traditional hanging.
