The Swallow that Artur Ransome and Ernest Altouynan bought together
with Mavis from an Arnside boatbuilder was named after an earlier
Swallow in which was at Lanehead when AR used to visit the Collingwoods
and in which AR learned to sail.
Mavis Altounyan was AR's favourite 'Swallow' and there seems to be some
evidence that Erthur and Evgenia attempted to persuade the Ernest and Dora
to let them adopt her.
