The Snark Hunters' Vessel in full sail, an illustration by JVL in The Hunting of the Snark,
by Lewis Carroll, Artists' Choice Editions, 2006.
But the principal failing occurred in the sailing,
And the Bellman, perplexed and distressed,
Said he had hoped, at least, when the wind blew due East,
That the ship would not travel due West!
