Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England “The Missing Ship: The Log of the ‘Ouzel’ Galley” by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds aboard the merchant vessel, the "Ouzel Galley", amidst a backdrop of naval warfare during the early 18th century, focusing on its captain, Captain Tracy, and his capable mate, Owen Massey. The story intricately blends themes of bravery, familial bonds, and the challenges of life at sea. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a tense situation aboard the "Ouzel Galley", which is caught in a calm at sea while the crew suffers from fever. Captain Tracy’s daughter, Norah, cares for her ailing father, while Owen prepares the ship for an impending storm. As the weather rapidly changes, the crew spots a raft with a survivor, whom Owen heroically rescues, despite the dangers posed by the turbulent sea. This stranger, Lancelot Carnegan, becomes a pivotal figure within the crew but hides a mysterious past, hinting at the complexities that will unfold as the narrative progresses. The tension escalates when the ship encounters a French privateer, transforming the story into one of survival and conflict against the unpredictable backdrop of the open sea.
