For centuries, humankind has been inventing ways to chart its courses, sail its waters, and stay connected to one another across vast distances of blue. For those who love ships and sailing, those who have dedicated their lives to shipbuilding, and all who love the sea, a stately ship urn could be a wonderful way to memorialize them when they pass on.
