From HMS Invincible to Boaty McBoatface, Seas the Day to Shoot Low They're Riding Chickens, naming ships and boats has always been a tradition that separates the inspired from the woefully unfunny. This book explores some of the fascinating history behind famous names, and bizarre stories behind the stranger ones.
Jonathan Eyers is the author of Don’t Shoot the Albatross!: Nautical Myths and Superstitions, How to Snog a Hagfish!: Disgusting Things in the Sea and Final Voyage: The World’s Worst Maritime Disasters for Adlard Coles Nautical, and the novel The Thieves of Pudding Lane for Bloomsbury Children’s.

dash of humour, his latest book is a witty guide to boat
naming.
