Plot

Theodore, Hank, and George find a ship so covered with ice, they can't tell what it is. When it doesn't answer their questions, George is convinced that it's just an old, abandoned wreck. The Dispatcher agrees that they should take it to the junk dock. Theodore is sure that the ship would talk to them if it could. With Hank's help, Theodore tries to melt the ice, but their attempts seem more humorous than successful until they hear a laugh. Sure enough, the mysterious ship is laughing at them, and the more it laughs the more it loosens chunks of ice. Eventually the laughing reveals Shamus, a beautiful sea trawler. Even George has to admit that his original opinion of the ship was wrong, especially when the trawler starts telling adventure-filled stories about getting caught in a storm and living alone out on the ocean.
