Colophon
The text of this gamebook is a DRAFT drafted with Artisanal Intelligence, the studio's name for help from Claude agents, and is reviewed and edited by Bryce before any release. Nothing here is final. The story is original; the facts about the wrecks and lights are from the Lighthouse app's history, checked against the sources named there.
The plates are public domain or CC BY photographs and engravings, converted to sixteen grays with a tone curve and local contrast. Nothing was generated or repainted. Each is credited below.
