Ye Gods, I wish that ship had been called the Witchie Queen.
I'm just imagine Grayson trying to say "Barnabas! Barnabas! It's the... the Witchie Queen!" with a straight face, and totally losing it. Priceless.
There is a whole narrative set up in the Summer of 1970 sequence that gets trashed once they actually arrive in 1840. Of course, only one month away from 1795, they had set up a very elaborate narrative for Barnabas, Jeremiah and Josette in the 1830s that never, ever saw the light of day, so it would be unfair to cast particular aspersions on the writers in 1970--the ones in 1967 wandered just as far afield in their embroideries.
