The Lovely Ship

See all formats and editions

Our story begins with the birth of Mary Hanskye in 1841 as the Industrial Revolution is changing the face of pastoral England.

While still a child, Mary comes under the influence of her uncle, one of England's great shipbuilders.

Soon she is a young woman involved in a loveless marriage arranged by a father she has hardly known.

Though tragedy and disappointment follow her like shadows, The Lovely Ship is a story of the survival of a strong woman as we follow her through marriage, childbearing, family crisis, and her ultimate ascent to the throne of power in the great shipbuilding company.
