"The White Ship"  is a short story written by science fiction and horror writer H. P. Lovecraft.  It was first published in The United Amateur (Volume 19) #2, November 1919.  The tone and temperament of "The White Ship" speaks largely of the Dream Cycle literary structure that Lovecraft utilized in other stories such as The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (1926) and "The Cats of Ulthar" (1920).  The story was also adapted into a song by the 1960s psychedelic rock band H. P. Lovecraft on their self-titled debut album.  Additionally, doom metal band, Solitude Aeturnus, wrote and played a song on their debut album, Into the Depths of Sorrow, called “White Ship.”  (More from Wikipedia)
