The steamboat is called the "Walter Scott," named after the famous Scottish writer whose novels in the 18th and early 19th century epitomized the ideals of old-world chivalry. Twain oft ridiculed Walter Scott, believing those old world ideas were stilted, and he shows this by naming a sinking ship after the writer.
