| Summary | "Woven with the Ship: A Novel of 1865" by Cyrus Townsend Brady is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the post-Civil War period and revolves around the lives of several characters tied to a decaying ship and its aging captain. As the story unfolds, themes of love, loss, and nostalgia emerge through the relationships between the old admiral, his granddaughter Emily, and a young sailor named Barry, who find themselves caught in a web of emotions surrounding the ship. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to the old ship, once a symbol of power and beauty, now deteriorating and unfinished, paralleling the lives of its guardians. The old admiral, having dedicated his life to his maritime career, finds himself bound to both the ship and his beloved granddaughter Emily, who has grown up isolated from the world. As the narrative progresses, the story highlights Emily's innocent dreams and the arrival of Richard Revere, a wounded officer who is drawn to her. Their initial encounter is fraught with tension and the promise of new beginnings, while Barry, the loyal sailor, grapples with his silent love for Emily, setting the stage for emotional complexities and conflicts that will unfold throughout the novel.
