Beauties of the sea, and our fondest memory connections, have long been evoked through the practice of naming ships. Here are just a few from my collection of northwest coast favorites! Sea colors… 
And place names…
Lovely ladies, 
Oceans sailed, and fast passages…
Through 
treacherous waters, and past working ships, wood yachts…
Even ships unnamed but found in longings of the landlocked sailor.
