Vicki planned to spend her summer as a waitress in her father's seaside restaurant, a must-see tourist destination with its seashell-covered walls, a 230-year-old portrait of an evil eyed sea captain and the majestic figurehead from his ship. But when the bay went dry and a 1772 sailing ship appeared, Vicki's course was reset. For where the greedy mayor saw dollars signs and a nosy reporter saw something fishy, Vicki saw ghosts. Determined to discover the truth and to uncover old family secrets, Vicki, along with her new best friend Peter, must venture into the deep and believe the unbelievable.
