Dark Voyage by Helen Susan Swift
An alternate cover edition can be found here.

It’s 1914, and fear and paranoia rule the high seas.

Iain Cosgrove is newly married to Jennifer Manson, daughter of a wealthy Scottish merchant. But Iain must soon leave for a research trip aboard the Lady Balgay, last of Dundee’s once-grand sealing fleet. Fueled by rum and the tales of John Pratt, the crew obsess over ancient superstitions; ones Iain casually dismisses as simple lore... until they reach the frigid Artic seas.

When a string of accidents coincide with the recurring appearance of a female apparition, Iain’s beliefs are shaken. Then the ship discovers two castaways — one of them a woman — and events take a sinister turn.

Inspired by historical accounts, Dark Voyage is a compelling and horrifying tale set in the icy waters of the north.
