Launchingscarab

Launching Scarab as depicted on the cover of The Picts and the Martyrs

in Norfolk

at the Lake

  • Rio boatbuilders: Old James, Robert, and a boy "hardly older than John" (SD8 & PM2,15). Old James is shown in a sketch of the launching of Scarab on the dustjacket of PM (which was not included in the book).

elsewhere

  • The Boatbuilder at Pin Mill who says about Jim Brading: .. he'd trust him anywhere (WD3). (Possible Native prototype: Harry King.)
  • the nearest boatbuilder to Secret Water to fix the bent pintle on the Wizard; who is Up the town creek ... A good one close to the Yacht Club (SW22).
  • Naval dockyard of the Three Islands: They're building a junk said John ... Naval dockyard ... Visitors not allowed said Captain Flint (ML17).
  • Noah: Nancy says that Uncle Jim's quite right .... He said you were bound to be late with her because the only boatbuilder who ever finished a boat on time was Noah, and he only did it because he knew he'd be drowned if he didn't (PM2). See Wikipedia: Noah
