Ship sound effects from the days of sail through to the container era, with a few spaceships along for the ride. On the pirate side there's cannon fire, and crews shouting in full pirate voice. Modern ships come from recordings made on board real vessels. Then there's the dockside, with harbour ambience and pulleys.

Ship scenes tend to get built in layers, the vessel and the water first, then the people on deck. The Pirate material covers most of it, from cannon fire and ship ambiences to swashbuckling shouts from male and female voices. Modern ships are a quieter job. Onboard ambiences from working vessels sit under a crossing or a long voyage, while dock recordings and Pulley handling fill in the harbour. Bells help too, since a ship's bell has marked the watches at sea for centuries. The spaceships are their own thing, pass-bys and abstract designs for sci-fi rather than the sea.
