I think that any ship bearing the ring wouldn't have been able to find the straight road, e.g. enter into Valinor at all. It would travel without any hope of finding it. Much as would men if they attempted to find the way to Valinor. Just a little addition to the previous post...

I really miss more information on Círdan. He must be the oldest of the elves in the Lord of the Rings, so I think it's sad that he didn't play a bigger part. Isn't he also the only elf reported to have a beard?
I haven't read all HoME, so does anyone know if there might be some more information on him in any of those books? I'm also very fascinated by him so I'd love to know more...
