Information on the craft appearing on Ransome's "Lake in the north"

Swallow and Wild Cat Island Thumbnail          

The starring vessels of Ransome's "Lake in the North" are undoubtedly the sailing dinghies Swallow and Amazon, later joined in The Picts and the Martyrs by the Scarab. Yet it is Captain Flint's Houseboat that arguably plays the most significant role of all.

In the background the lake teams with a supporting cast of vessels, from "native war canoes" to steamers.

The links below provide more information on the Boats of Arthur Ransome's lake.
