An aging king leaves his quiet kingdom and patient wife to gather his old crew for one more voyage before death takes him. They push out toward the unknown ocean, worn down by age but resolved never to stop striving and seeking.

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Ulysses, Alfred, Lord Tennyson
