So it's not illogical that Robin[?] bought a retired working boat

The above statement is correct but it should have referred to Mavis not Swallow. Sorry. I was thinking of the thrift of the Collingwoods compared to the unassuming wealth of the Blackett/Turner household. I should have kept my mind on the boats.

So let me get this in before Tarboard sinks in a squall of corrections. It was, of course, AR that bought Swallow and Robin Collingwood who bought Mavis.

Weren't they bought at the same time? So probably from the same place? Ransome was hardly rich at that time. All this would seem support the hypothesis that Swallow and Mavis started out as working boats.
