There have been many theories as to how AR came to use the name Walker for some of his principal characters.
A further possibily may derive from the range of Walkers ship logs. Perhaps AR used this type of mechanical log for one or more of his boats.
These logs were in use from the 1880's onwards.
Does anyone know what type of log AR may have used, please?
