Seaking is an appropriate name...

Seeing as back at Redwall the characters are indeed seeking out the pearls! Anyone else notice this? Argulor (talk) 00:27, August 28, 2013 (UTC) Argulor, 17:26

BTW, I still am not perfect at signing my posts :(

Just realized something...

There was a famous pirate ship captained by Bartholomew Roberts named the Sea King. Could Brian Jacques have been inspired by this? - Snowstripe File:Urthstripe.jpgYou're always welcome at my mountain. 22:16, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

I dunno. Is there any real one named the Freebooter? Argulor (talk) 04:17, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

It’s not rennamed by Martin II? (or III, but that’s a whole other discussion. BirdOfBlueFeathers22 (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Nope, the announcement of the renaming is by Clecky. "Clecky stood by shouting 'I rename this vessel Seaking, may her cookin' fires be always lit an' the whole jolly crew well fed!'" - LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 01:27, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I know it was originally stated on the page to be Martin II(.5…sorry, I had to do it again. I’ll stop) and that it seemed to line up, so I checked it again myself. Turns out, the quote is actually, Then, with a single slash of his sword, Martin severed the anchor cable as Clecky stood by shouting, "I rename this vessel Seaking, may her cookin' fires be always lit an' the whole jolly crew well fed!“

Which actually sounds fairly ambigous to me. At the very least, I can see why people would say it’s Martin II talking. I’m divided on this…since he’s the captain of the ship, it makes the most sense that it’s him saying actually announcing he’s renaming it. However, since there’s no comma next to “stood by”, I can also see the argument for Clecky. However, the lack of a comma could also be a simple error. Espicially sincr weirder ones have happened—-Killconey repeatedly being referred to as female, for example. BirdOfBlueFeathers22 (talk) 02:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

That is not Martin's speech pattern. That's clearly how a hare, in this case, Clecky, speaks. -- LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 06:14, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

You’re right. Good eye. BirdOfBlueFeathers22 (talk) 07:22, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
