Wild Cat

From Arthur Ransome Wiki

Wild Cat is a small green schooner (based on a Baltic trading schooner). Used by Captain Flint to take the Swallows and Amazons on Wild Cat's first voyage described in Peter Duck and Wild Cat's second voyage in Missee Lee. As she only appears within these two books, Wild Cat has fiction-within-fiction status.

[edit] Name

'Their Own Story' describes Mr Duck suggesting the name for the schooner. He had spotted the name Wild Cat Island written on a "chart" in the book Swallows and Amazons (TOS2 printed in CFT).
