The Gallant

The Gallant is Remy's ship and, according to Jamis, has almost 100 men working on her. She is an older model, has three masts and sports a partially nude woman as the figurehead and a big stylized trilobite (also the symbol of the earth god and Lucentian officials?) at the stern.

Shrine
The ship's shrine is located in the bow, behind the crew's lodgings and consists of a little bowl to place offerings in and a big slab which looks like fossilized ammonites.It is Remy's birthright to commandeer the ship, but the title of Captain was transferred to him from his father in a holy ceremony aboard the vessel. This was done to ensure safe travels, since those travels take the ship across the domain of the God of the Sea, whose goodwill is requested via an offering and prayers. The prayer goes:

Help me find my way in the dark

Help me find my words that spark

Help me find my truth which is fair

Help me find my safest way there

When Ludovica comes aboard the ship she visits the shrine and offers a piece of her necklace, hiding it behind a wooden board for fear of it being too conspicuous, as well as a small sea sponge.

Construction
The Gallant was built by the Ann family, specifically Rakkatak Ann's grandfather, and is made mainly of great white pine from the mountains. No further materials are known so far, due to the family not sharing their trade secrets.

On one occasion Remy mentions that the Gallant was made of Acorn and that it took a week to cut the core tree.

The Rot
The main mast of the ship was damaged in a severe storm (5 years before the beginning of the story) and travel to the Ann family's shipyards could not be made, so Remy decided to replace the broken mast with some unknown wood with interesting grain and patterns, but apparently also a fungus infestation or rot, that spread from the new mast to the cargo hold of the ship. The rot takes three days to bloom and infect areas, so even if the wood gets replaced it cannot be completely removed due to the mast being the source of the infestation. The rot was discovered two years after the new mast was installed (three years before the beginning of the story), and Rakkatak Ann is the one monitoring the development and removal of the infestation.
