Throughout history, sailors have often treated the ships they sailed as if they were sapient. The Sea Queens project asks the question "what if they ''were'' sapient? What stories would they tell?"

Brainchild of Joel Hassell (username K9Thefirst1), [http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-sea-queens-second-voyage.307020/ hosted on Spacebattles,] the project takes the [[Spaceship Girl]] trope and cranks it up further. Whenever a ship is built by human hands (or other races, let's not be exclusive) that exceeds a certain size threshold, the ship itself ends up with an [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] that can interact with the crew. Usually taking female form (though male avatars are not unheard of), these avatars ''are'' the ship, often with personalities based on what they were built (or refitted) to do.

* [[Amazonian Beauty]] - Cargo ships have respectable levels of [[Super Strength]], with physiques to match.

* [[Baby Got Back]] - Ocean Liner avatars had quite ''defined'' backsides, as a subtle shout-out to [[Titanic|Lewis Bodine's]] [http://magnificenttitanic.tumblr.com/post/97275342527/thank-you-for-that-fine-forensic-analysis-mr infamous description] of the Titanic sinking.

Line 24:

* [[Team Mom]] - Given how they operate both as a ship and as part of a fleet, Aircraft Carriers are pretty much the embodiment of this trope, right down to aprons and demeanors not that out of place of a 50's sitcom.

* [[Vaporware]] - Intended to be an Edutainment book series... But the setting needed some kinks worked out, hence the SB threads. The author claims that the setting is now "set," so the next logical step would be actual writing and, hopefully, publishing.
