The prized ship used by Captain Jenkins to convey dubious cargos around the Circle Sea region. It appears twice in the canon, once in the computer game Discworld Noir as a key location, and once when seized by Samuel Vimes and forced to take the Watch to Klatch in Jingo. After being captained by Vimes, the ship was in dire need of an extensive refit. Inspector Lewton described it as a pig-boat.

Other crew members include the First Mate, Scoplett, who suffers from a socially embarrasing disease contracted during a run ashore in Ephebe.


Annotation

One of the ships in Columbus' fleet that re-discovered North America in 1492 was called the Pinta. An advertising slogan in Britain (by the Milk Marketing Board) was Drinka Pinta Milka Day.
