Casey Ferrence

Captain Casey Ferrence is the captain of the S.S. Nellie Bly, a WWII Liberty ship that was reoutfitted as a cargo freighter. MarkMeltzer purchased passage on Ferrence's ship at the beginning of Phase Three of There's Something in the Sea to go searching for his kidnapped daughter overseas. Mark believes that he was accepted as a passenger because Captain Ferrence is "sympathetic to the cause."

Not much is known about the captain at present. He has told Mark that he previously worked as maritime pilot in Hong Kong. The Captain is surprisingly well acquainted with literature, and has a large bookshelf full of classics in his personal quarters. Mark has described him as "brusque" and "mysterious." In a private dinner with Mark he showed that he does not drink alcohol, and that he is given to mystical thinking.

After Dinner Conversation
"Well, Mr Meltzer... That's the thing about the sea now isn't it? It's always been the place of dreams... Symbols of the subconscious, so I've heard.... All the ghost ships, the mermaids... all the things that sailors see out here. Are they real things, or reflections? Huh, Our own minds stirring in the water... Oh I heard tales about this "Frozen Triangle" you're on about... I've been through it many times myself. And I do believe, chief, I do. Strange waters run through it; but none so strange as the waters in our minds."
