| The Bonny Anne |
(Uber) |
| In
the year of grace 1810, two sailing ships travel the blue Caribbean.
One is on a voyage to expand the boundaries of science; the other seeks a woman taken from an oceangoing vessel six months previously. Both have in common that they are captained by women; otherwise, they couldn't be more different. Discovery carries a crew devoted to one another, and the pursuit of science; the people aboard Intrepide are motivated by money--except for one, who is looking to find one woman in all the world, or die in the attempt. The captains meet in the deceptively peaceful streets of a harbor town called Haven on a quiet island, where the keeper of a tavern called the "Bonny Anne" has spent a lifetime waiting for one of them. |
