The White Ship is a 2002 historical novel by Australian children's author Jackie French. The novel, set in 1572, follows the journey of a group of Protestant children who are forced to flee their home, an island off the coast of France, upon a defecting warship known as "The White Ship", after Catherine de' Medici orders the deaths of all French Huguenots.[1][2]
