The Sevenstars

The Sevenstars is the flagship of the Sunglass flotilla, and the personal vessel of Ser Garlan Sunglass. It was built to tackle piracy in the Narrow Sea and to demonstrate the naval prestige of House Sunglass.

About
The Sevenstars is a new ship, built as soon as the Scarlet Winter ended and the waterwars of Blackwater Bay became navigable once more. It was commissioned by Ser Garlan, who hired shipbuilding experts from Braavos to oversee the project.

The ship itself is not the fastest, strongest-hulled nor the most heavily-armed ship on its waters, but it rates well by any measure. Its hull is designed to reduce the sound it makes as it travels through water and to conceal its wake, allowing for night-time ambush operations against enemy vessels.

Donal the Shark
Donal is styled the Master of the Sevenstars, acting as second-in-command when Ser Garlan is aboard ship and as de facto captain the rest of the time. Donal's parents were Summer Island merchants who settled in Sweetport shortly before he was born, and he grew up around the town and castle. He is Ser Garlan's right hand man, a rugged but sensible older sailor with decades of practical seafaring experience. Ser Garlan looks to him as a mentor despite his subordinate status, and the two men are firm friends.
