Ivory gull Vision in the snow Smart traders Ivory bird soars Seabird learns about whales Nantucket sleighride Gallopin' fishpole Fin out Cutting in Cleaning ship In the Captain's cabin Islands in the sea Changing years Timber, sticks, and string How to stop a full-rigged ship Shifting shadows Lines, winds, and waves Good luck and bad Sea is an enemy Sea is a friend Magic can be spun from simple things-- Age of sail dies slowly Some people grow to be machines Matter of bridges Old birds find new wings Three partners inspect a new ship Sailing of ships.

An ivory gull carved by Ezra Brown in 1832 brings luck to four generations of his family as they travel on the seas and in the air.
