Then there was "The Chicken Coop", piloted by the solitary
seaman, The Kitten - WDMTGTS
Lightships - CORK - SUNK. Don't think they actually SAW the SUNK,
but they did see CORK on their return voyage.
The Nederland Steamer (not really its name) that John's Father
was crossing from Flushing to Harwich, before he jumped ship.
Too bad the huge steamer that almost ran then down in the night
and called the "fishmongers" did not seem to be identified by name,
as that was a rather impressive encounter.
The Dutch Pilot Boat, from which the Pilot came to help them
into Flushing - but don't remember that it was named either.
The POMMERN, a tall multimasted sailing ship, met as they were
returning to Harwich.
The blue yacht, CORONILLA, met them as they returned, and also
spoke with them in the fog as they left.
