It explores maritime themes and the history of a ship named "Silkkilaiva" (Silk Ship), initially called "Anna Marja," and the events surrounding its captain's ominous legacy. The narrative seems to focus on the interactions and superstitions of the local islanders concerning the ship and its captain as well as introducing multiple characters that relate to the sea and maritime life. The opening of the story establishes a haunting atmosphere as the existence of ghost ships and their impact on local seafarers is introduced. The narrative begins with the backstory of "Silkkilaiva," highlighting how it once bore the name of "Anna Marja" but gained its nickname after a series of tragic events linked to its captain. We meet the lighthouse keeper, Penna, on a fog-laden night, carrying out his watch while growing increasingly fearful of the ghostly presence of the "Silkkilaivan" captain. The tension escalates as Penna finds himself confronted by an unseen entity, raising a sense of dread about the ghostly lore surrounding the ship and its fate. Through vivid descriptions and a mix of local mythology, the book immediately draws readers into a compelling maritime world rooted in mystery and superstition.
