Carolyn and Daniel butt heads over hosting ladies of the PTA at Gull Cottage. They're at an impasse until the Sea Vulture drops anchor in the bay, a ghost ship that robs all seamen spirits of special powers.

Schooner Bay puts on its upcoming Seafarer Centennial (complete with Seafaring Day Games).

Captain Gregg bristles at this choice but strikes back by using Candice and Jonathan to get Claymore to donate the Seafaring Day Games prize from items he pilfered from Gull Cottage over the years. Ignorant of its antique and historical value, Claymore donates a dirty old tea set. The Captain, having missed the set for years, wants it back by Claymore winning all the games.

For a while, Captain Gregg's main concern was Mrs. Muir's perceived lack of discipline over the children for breaking a window - that is, until able-seaman fourth class Elroy Applegate requested permission to come aboard (the most inept, bumbling, misfit seaman it was ever the Captain's ill-fortune to command).

Madam Candidate

Carolyn's feminist newspaper article stirs some of the townswomen into nominating her for Claymore's seat as president on the city council. Reluctant at first, Carolyn, confronted by Capt. Gregg's sexism against women in politics, accepts. Claymore's no better, fighting dirty by hiding a updated survey document that proves she lives within city limits and can be a viable political candidate (which riles the Captain to Carolyn's side, more or less). Then there's candidate Leander Whipple, an easily beatable, inveterate name-dropper whom Claymore nominated to avoid running unopposed yet again..

Jonathan's birthday party with its large number of children interferes with the Captain's desire for peace and quiet (needing to concentrate as he finishes a ship in a bottle as a present for Jonathan). The birthday boy and Candace ask the Captain when his birthday is, but he can't remember. They want to give him a birthday party, so they try to find the date by visiting Claymore under the pretense of a school interview. He goes through his files to discover the Captain's birthdate as November 13, 1869 (or is it?). They ask Mrs. Muir to have a surprise party for him, and use Scruffy as a lookout, as he can always tell when the Captain is around. They try and think of something to give the Captain, which leads to Mrs. Muir pondering, "What do you give a man who has nothing and can't use anything?"

Gregg airs out the house, the fire department arrives, whereby its over-strained engine catches fire, leaving Carolyn to put it out with a garden hose. The town needs an updated fire engine, but there's a lot of sentimentality attached to "Old 17." Carolyn arranges for the bumbling county commissioner to come test the fire department and condemn its engine, which Claymore points out only has to pass the town's outdated fire code. The Captain steps in to see that they can't even do that; but, thanks to Scruffy, a real emergency appears in which the Captain can't assist without confirming his presence before all onlookers.
