Took this picture from the cruise ship Jewel of the Sea while traveling the Caribbean. Took this 6 yeas ago when I just starting to take photography seriously. The picture will be challenging to work with. The day was hazy and picture flat.

Outstanding! I had roughly the same colors and clarity using RawTherapee but your noise reduction made the difference
Converted to landscape, replaced the sky and basic light adjustments.
Just realized the name of the boat is not Seeker but SeeRer. Looked up the word and found a definition that might be his meaning for the word. (a person who sees; observer.) Got me wondering. 🤔

Thanks. I didn't use much denoise - I just kept the sharpening away from the noise so it didn't get aggravated. But I did add some denoise via a selection of the dark parts of the boat.

I think you were right the first time. It looks like part of the upright of the k is missing and the very top part is curved over towards the horizontal.
Apart from that, seeker makes more sense than seerer

Ahoy, Treasure Seeker is listed on Trip Advisor as a pirate ship attraction.
Applied a bit of tone-mapping in Photomatix Pro
