Whose ship is this?

Hint: the figurehead and the mainsail.

Juice Newton?

Who?

[jsbowden.livejournal.com]

Oh John...I think it's time for you to plug that name into YouTube and enjoy what comes out...

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

"Enjoy" appears to be the wrong word.

Oh come now...you just KNOW you want to find a Norwegian Death Metal cover of that song...and the fun part is, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there is one.

Wonderland?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Wonderland. It's the fucking Queen Of Hearts, people, in a world made of playing cards!

[glitteringlynx.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised no one actually said Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland before this point. o.O Is it really that rare to find people who read the original story and loved it??

[frith]

I've read the story, I have the book (it was given to me when I was 7). I just don't remember there being a boat, so I discounted the playing cards as being mostly construction material.

[glitteringlynx.livejournal.com]

I saw it as just material as well until he gave the hint of the mainsail and figurehead.

OK, I finally got it. The Santa Maria. The form of the ship reminded me of Cabot and Columbus' ships. Probability favors Columbus. That left the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. I thought that one of them had been named after the queen backing his expedition, but it doesn't look like it. But Santa Maria is Mary, mother of Jesus, and she is sometimes represented by a rose. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose#History So there you go. The Santa Maria.

Really? Nobody looked at that and thought "that's the freaking 'Queen of Hearts,' this is too easy!"?

Nobody? o.0

[geekalpha.livejournal.com]

I did.

I thought the figurehead and mainsail hint was far too leading. Everyone has read Alice in Wonderland, right?

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

Likewise.

[crazy-alexy.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone did. I was worried when I clicked to reply and nobody had said it except for theweaselking

Looks like you've almost got a flush on the poop deck.

[scixual.livejournal.com]

oh, my.

[mistresschewtoy.livejournal.com]

Was expecting that in the comments.

Black Pearl, right? Shape of the sales are too similiar to completely disregard the pop culture reference.
