The book is dedicated to the S/V Bowdoin vessel, its history, design and significance in Arctic research. She describes the author's impressions of visiting the ship, his participation in the Wooden Boat Show in Maine, as well as his role in marine expeditions. Bowdoin, built to operate in the difficult conditions of the Arctic, symbolizes more than 200 years of maritime history and continues to be used for research purposes. The book also touches on the themes of the restoration of the ship, its interaction with nature and the captain's plans for an anniversary Arctic voyage marking the centenary of the ship.
