In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Sea Bitch is a ship built in Lordsport by Sigrin the Shipwright. It does not belong to the Iron Fleet. The ship isn't given to Theon as a slight against him and is not the only ship he commands. The crew assembled by Theon is composed by:
- Rymolf Stormdrunk, a steersman in the crew of Victarion Greyjoy
- Urzen
- Maron Botley, called Old Botley and Fishwhiskers
- His sons
- Stygg
- Gevin Harlaw
- Cadwyl
In the books, Asha (Yara) actually just disparagingly calls Theon's new ship "a sea bitch", and Theon impudently declares that she just picked a great name, so Theon himself chooses to name it "Sea Bitch". In the TV version Yara mockingly assigns Theon a ship already named "Sea Bitch", making the joke at his expense instead of hers as in the book.
