Summary

Where were you when the War of 1812 broke out? Our new friend Caroline Abbott, who debuted just in time for the 1812 bicentennial, was coasting along and "doing what she loves most" on her family's boat. During this episode, we truly meet Caroline for the very first time and are quickly confronted with an unwanted British invasion. We dive straight into her world of maritime mischief and consider the query of whether a woman's place is in the shipyard. Tune in to meet the eclectic cast of characters in Caroline's world...but hurry, because this ship is about to set sail.

0:00.0	Sometimes in life, you gotta go big, and nowhere goes bigger than Dubai.
0:09.1	A city-sized playground in a vast desert, where the tallest building in the world dwarves
0:14.4	supersized super yachts.
0:17.1	And there's no end to high-end shops.
0:21.2	So go big, go bold, go beautiful, and fly to Dubai with Virgin Atlantic, book now.
0:30.4	So I need to ask you a question, and unfortunately, I know that it's always polite to kind of,

0:48.9	Kirsten Larson, 1854, or Caroline Abbott, 1812.
0:54.6	Oh, that's a tough one.
0:56.8	And I hate to kind of, like, engage this comparison.
0:59.9	Like, you know, I feel like if Kirsten was here, she'd want to be removed from this narrative,
1:03.8	a la Taylor Swift, her doppelganger in some ways.
1:07.2	But I mean, it's like the murder of it all.
1:09.2	Like, don't you think it's Kirsten?
