SKIP: How many real boats do you know that are named after land
animals???

I know of vessels named
Petral
Jeager
Halibut
Puffin
Sea Lion

But I dont know of any sea boats with a land animal name. At least one
that is still floating


SS Badger on Lake Michigan. A ferry, it burns coal and it has piston
engines.

Let's not forget the "Beagle".
