This musical takes place in 1812 in Charlottetown, present-day PEI, Canada, and is a story-within-a-story where tavern-folk retell the tale behind the legendary Ghost Ship of Northumberland Strait to a visitor. Like the Celtic music which inspired it, the tale includes sea shanties, wistful romance, and patriotic marches.
