Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Haunted Ship" by Kate Marion Tucker is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story follows Jo Bailey, a young boy living in coastal Maine, as he eagerly anticipates the arrival of the Seymour family for their summer vacation. Jo is soon joined by Ann, Ben, and Helen Seymour, each bringing their own distinct personalities and curiosity about their new surroundings, particularly an ominous wrecked schooner located nearby. The narrative suggests themes of adventure, friendship, and mystery, introducing readers to the anxieties and thrills of childhood exploration. At the start of the novel, Jo Bailey is excitedly waiting for the arriving Seymours at a train station, reflecting on his lonely winter and the beauty of his coastal home. He imagines the differences between their lives in the city and his rural upbringing, anxious but hopeful about the summer adventures ahead. The arrival of the Seymours introduces dynamic interactions—especially between Jo and Ann, who quickly forge a bond despite Jo’s initial reservations about her. As the children explore the coastal landscape, they encounter the mysterious wrecked schooner and are captivated by its secrets, setting the stage for a summer filled with intrigue and discovery about their peculiar new environment.
