About Morgan Turbot
Morgan Turbot is the present owner of a thirty-six feet long lifeboat. This lifeboat has a mysterious past and first comes to our notice as the only survivor of an encounter between a Norwegian coastalfreighter and a German submarine.
The Lifeboat's Past
After the Second World War, the lifeboat re-starts life as a two-masted sailing yacht. The yacht is haunted and the ghost of a girl that perished in the boat drives off anybody that shows an interest until Morgan Turbot acquires her.
The Encounter with the Electrical Storm
In 2009, Morgan and a female passenger are en route from Townsville to Bowen when they encounter a strange electrical storm. Just before the storm hits, Morgan sees his friend, Harry Knott, coming towards him in a motor launch. He waves at him but the roiling mist associated with the natural phenomenon swallows them and they lose sight of each other. Time stands still but then things go back to normal, the mist melts away, and the yacht sails on.
Later Events and Investigations
Four years later, another yachty friend of Harry Knott loses his yacht under similar circumstances and Harry investigates. Meanwhile, Morgan Turbot records his experiences.
