"You may have heard of ships. You may have also heard of the sea and the night. But did you realize there's nothing more beautiful than a ship and its lights on the sea at night? In warm and witty prose, this book asks the reader to consider the splendor of glowing lights cast by ships on a shimmering waterway. Meet a trawler, a paddlewheel ferryboat, and icebreaker, and something called a RoRo--all richly illustrated to illuminate the gorgeous explosion of color that only happen where boats and water and lights converge."-- Provided by publisher.

Uses inviting prose and richly illustrated scenes to introduce young readers to various types of sailing vessels and the splendor of their glowing lights reflected on nighttime waterways.
