When a vessel drops anchor, it does not always find rest.

In winter fog off Nootka Sound, a working ship holds position above a shoreline where villages once stood — places erased quickly, without ceremony, without farewell. The dead were never taught how to leave.

Raven watches as stillness invites memory.

This episode tells of spirits who mistake steel for village ground, of warmth and light taken as welcome, and of how grief does not touch all souls the same. Some feel only pressure. Others open themselves without knowing it.

Stanley carried old wars inside him.
Alcohol loosened what should have remained sealed.
Through him, something waiting found voice and hands.

This is not a story of monsters.
It is a story of surrender.

Haunted Harbor Havoc is an Ask Raven series documenting moments when ships anchor over places that still remember.

Some ships are lost to storms.
Others are lost long before the sea arrives.

In this final chapter of the Spooky Sub Chaser Stories Trilogy, Raven circles the Quatsino and recounts three warnings the ship could not outrun:

A dockside sinking at Steveston, heavy with salmon and pride.
A near-capsize in the whirlpool waters of Kelsey Bay.
A fogbound run up the Fraser River that dragged a fisherman’s boat behind her.

These are not ghost stories.
They are records of drift — when speed replaces judgment, and denial outpaces repair.

Through poetry and memory, Raven tells how fear can live in steel, how fatigue can pass from hull to crew, and how debts ignored are eventually collected.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Too fast to last.

Raven circles above a ship driven by twin engines and wounded pride.
Built for war. Worn by time. Masked by speed.

In Episode 2 of the Spooky SubChaser Stories Trilogy, Ask Raven tells of a vessel whose reputation hid its weakness — and of the warning that rose from below decks before the sea claimed its due.

Ships remember what men deny.
And the ocean keeps its own ledger.

This is EP2 of a true maritime trilogy — told in verse, carried by memory, and sealed by the sea.
