I knew an actual real life ferryman who sailed with P&O ferries, nice guy, except that he most absolutely wasn't a nice guy. Spent all his time talking about knives, he doesn't even hunt or work with rope. Like if he was an old timey pirate sailer he may come in cantact with rope, to raise the skull and crossbones flag, and he might need to cut it with a knife. But he worked on a ferry, hardly any of modern day ferries have skull and crossbones flags. I don't know why he liked knives so much. Never been to this pub, looks nice, could be wrong though
