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.

The Gold Hind was the ship of the privateer and explorer Sir Walter Raleigh. It was a galleon that circumnavigated the earth in the name of the Queen of England.
