This is a really good question! And you remember very well, taloshield.
I don't think the ownership is explicitly stated anywhere. There are a couple of mention's of "Kendry's captain", but no name attached to the title. After the Chalcedeans capture Kendry, Reyn Khuprus is worried about "his family crew". Jani Khuprus talks about "our liveships, such as the Kendry" - but Devouchet demands Kendry's return as well, and I've got the feeling that all the old families feel strongly about all the liveships, not just the one they actually own themselves.
The only other clue I could find is that the Kendry speaks to Althea as if he's very familiar with Grag Tenira. I'm wondering if the Teniras actually have two Liveships, Ophelia and Kendry?
Quote:The dragon-log, Bendir. We need to be rid of it, and soon. Cut it up. Perhaps you are right; perhaps it is time the Khuprus family had a ship of its own. Or have it sawn into planks and store them. Get rid of the thing inside it. Otherwise, I fear we will lose your brother.This is of course Tintaglia's wizardwood log, and it's from chapter 26 in the Mad Ship.
