How do I make the light beam look really bright?

Contrast is key: make the surrounding sky exceptionally dark using 'dense overlapping black cross-hatching' so the plain paper light beam pops.

Can I add a ship in the distance?

Yes, append 'a small wooden sailboat struggling in the distant waves, illuminated by the light beam'.

Does this prompt work well in black and white only?

Yes, it is designed specifically for high-contrast monochrome black ink on warm white paper.
