Commissioned in 1891 as an oyster dredger, the skipjack Charlotte
B. has struggled to survive for more than a century. She has lived
through oyster wars and violent storms that have claimed her sister
ships. Pollution and parasites have decimated her quarry,
sabotaging her livelihood. She has been impounded as a rum runner,
and abandoned in the marshes to rot. Always, she has been rescued,
rebuilt, and restored to her rightful place as the reigning queen
of a dwindling fleet. But now she is again on the auction block--
for sale or salvage. A prominent Boston lawyer, in need of a fresh
challenge, becomes captivated by the Charlotte and intrigued by the
problems facing the Bay. The combination will plunge him into
dangerous undercurrents, changing his life forever.
