Well spotted!

I do of course accept that the books are works of imagination taking place in a time that never was but which is "generic 1930's"!

(Keeping the anorak on for a moment, though, I think the Thorneycroft "Handy Billy" was intriduced in 1934, as that appears to be the date on the owners handbook!)

Slightly more seriously, the "Pommern" was no more likely to dock during the school holidays than the Great Northern Diver was to nest during them, so this is an argument for "Great Northern?" being "real" and not a "Peter Duck story"!
