The story begins in Pemberton's Hotel, a modest establishment along the shores of Long Island Sound, where various characters, including the introspective Captain Thomas Buckingham and staff like Stevey Todd and Uncle Abimelech, frequent to share tales of their nautical pasts and musings about life at sea. The narrative promises a blend of nostalgia, humor, and reflections on both land and sea legacies. The opening of the book sets a tranquil yet introspective tone as Captain Buckingham reminisces about his youth and sailing adventures, revealing hints of his complex character as he engages in conversation about his experiences running a hotel in South America alongside Stevey Todd. These interactions introduce the reader to the dynamics among the hotel’s varied patrons, setting the stage for deeper explorations of their lives and adventures ahead. The dialogue is rich with local color and character, establishing a strong sense of place and community, while simultaneously indicating that the sea's call may draw some of the characters back into adventure.
