Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew and her friends, Bess and George, board the Bonny Scot to solve its ghostly mystery. As fires blaze and thefts occur, Nancy must uncover the ship's missing figurehead to help her father secure its history. But with no records of the ship's past and a suspect from a recent robbery shadowing them, danger lurks at every turn. Can Nancy piece together the clues before it's too late?

From the publisher

Adventure abounds on the Bonny Scot in Boston Harbor as Nancy Drew helps Captain Easterly uncover the mystery of his ghostly visitors. From the moment the clever young detective and her friends, Bess and George, take up residence on the old clipper ship they are confronted with fire, theft, and other dangerous situations. Nancy faces an additional challenge: to find a clue to the clipper’s missing figurehead. If she is successful, it will help her lawyer father to trace the history of the Bonny Scot and establish a clear title to the ship for Captain Easterly. But strangely there are no records of the Bonny Scot’s past. Why? And why has the prime suspect in the recent robbery at Bess Marvin’s home followed the three girls to Boston?
