Eärrámë

"Into The West" by Matěj Čadil
"Into The West" by Matěj Čadil

Eärrámë was the great ship of Tuor at the end of his life in Middle-earth. After feeling the Unquiet of Ulmo, he built the ship in First Age 525, and departed the same year with Idril into the West. Voronwë probably went with them. Later it was sung that they arrived in Valinor, being Tuor the only Man who became a member of the Elder Kindred.

Etymology

Eärrámë is Quenya for "Sea-Wing", from eär ("sea") + ráma ("wing").

Other versions of the legendarium

In the earliest version of the legendarium in The Book of Lost Tales, the ship of Tuor is called Alqarámë ("Swanwing"), while Eärámë ("Eaglepinion") is the ship of Eärendel (being Wingilot his second ship). Tolkien never finished the Lost Tale of Eärendel, so there are contradictory outlines: first Tuor sails alone in secret in Alqarámë, which is described as twilit and with purple sails; but later it is given a more detailed outline of Tûr's depart:

Tolkien changed the story as it is in the published The Silmarillion in his revision of the Sketch of the Mythology, in which Eärámë became the ship of Tuor instead of Eärendel's.
