  Did Charons' boat, used to take souls across the river Styx, have a name?
  I am naming a new sailboat and can't find the name of his boat. Are there any other interesting (darker side) boat names I might consider?
  
  Thanks,
  Uncle Satan

  Uncle Satan,
  I do not think Charon's boat was named. However, based on Dante's passage in Inferno (canto III, 82 -127) describing the crossing of the Acheron, I suggest these possibilities:
  
  Wicked Woe
  No Hope
  Charon's Skiff
  Infernal Ferry
  Accursed
  Chiding Charon.
  
  Given your moniker, you could consider H*ll-Bent, H*ll-Bound, or, in view of the maintenance costs and which direction home (mythologically) would be, SINKER!:angry: :teary: :ohno:

  Thanks Inked.
  
  Oh, and it's Hell, not H*ll.

  Uncle Satan,
  As long as you're sure! I thought the asterisk was sexier somehow!

  The "Millenium Stygian," I think, or perhaps the "Weary Wherry," the "Final Ferry," or the "Cruelest Cutter."
  
  I got it, the "Celestial Harper's Ferry."
