General:

White Widow is a longship of the Iron Fleet. She is a big ship, large and heavy and slow.[1]

Recent events:

The Iron Fleet head to Meereen. When they leave the Stepstones, Lord Captain Victarion Greyjoy divides the fleet into three, placing one of the squadrons under Ralf the Limper, captain of the Lord Quellon. White Widow goes with Ralf, sailing to Lys to sell slaves taken from the Shield Islands and load provisions for the long slow middle age east. At the rendezvous point on the Isle of Cedars, the Lord Quellon crawls in with only thirteen of the ships it lead (among which are White Widow, the Lamentation, Woe, Leviathan, Iron Lady, Reaper's Wind, and Warhammer), with two of the ships storm-wracked and under tow. Ralf explains that they were hit by three big storms, and foul winds between, driving them towards the blighted shore of Old Valyria.[1]
