*''[[Coot Club]]'': The crew of ''[[Teasel]]'' are harrassed by ''Yarmouth sharks'' as they pass the Yarmouth bridges: ''And then a man appeared on the bank “Take you through Yarmouth, sir” …. But Tom had heard about the wreckers of Yarmouth who are always ready to lend a hand and, a little later, to do a bit of salvage work'' ([[CC]]18). At the climax of the book, ''[[Margoletta]]'' sinks in the perilously tidal [[Breydon Water]] — necessitating a dramatic salvage by the [[Death and Glories]]: ''Them Yarmouth sharks'' says Joe (but it is Old Bob in [[Come Along]]), and shortly ''Take us into Yarmouth'' yelled the [[Hullabaloos]]” ([[CC]]28). |

*''[[The Big Six]]:'' [[George Owdon]] talks loudly to his friend [[Ralph Strakey|Ralph]] in their hearing about the [[Death and Glories]]: ''"You've heard of Yarmouth sharks? .. They wreck boats and then get the credit for salving them. No better than common thieves." ([[BS]]2). |

This advice influences [[John]]'s reluctance to ask for help when ''[[Goblin]]'' drifts out to sea without her skipper. But when John sees the pilot vessel, they signal the [[Flushing pilot]] at the end of ''Goblin's'' [[North Sea]] crossing: John says ''"Remember the pilots at Falmouth. We're all right now ... we can take a pilot .. it isn't like asking for help. Jim said so himself ... even liners do it."'' But he is still concerned as they are ''"so beastly young",'' and sends the others below ([[WD|WD19]]). |
*'[[Coots in the North]]' The Death and Glories are bored because the [[salvage]] business is in decline on the Broads. A possible ending for this incomplete story includes the [[salvage]] of [[Captain Flint]]'s [[houseboat]] when its anchor chain breaks in a squall. |
