❓ Quick Answers

Who is this for?

Nurses of every kind, nursing students, and anyone who has worked a twelve-hour shift and still had energy left for an adventure.

Is this a good gift for someone who's hard to shop for?

Yes. Nurses collect mugs and badge reels by the dozen. A shirt that confesses to their secret life at sea is one they will actually wear on a day off.

How big is it / how does it fit?

Comfort Colors runs relaxed and true to size, S through 4XL. Want it roomy? Go up one size. Full measurements are in the size chart.

How long does shipping take, and is it free?

Shipping is free in the U.S. Each shirt is printed to order in the U.S. and arrives in 2-8 business days, depending on where you live.

How do I care for it?

Wash cold, tumble dry low, and keep the iron off the print. Garment-dyed cotton gets softer with every wash.

💀 Thank You

Thanks for grabbing something that speaks your language. Every order keeps indie creators alive, caffeinated, and just snarky enough to keep making the weird pirate stuff big box stores would never touch. Appreciate you more than a smooth ash and a steady draw. ⛵
