Interpretation
Reversed, The Ship warns you not to romanticize what doesn't really feed you. You might be clinging to potential instead of truth. Or maybe you're waiting for someone else to steer when it's your ship to sail. This card asks: is this connection grounding you, or keeping you floating?
