On another thread I came across the name of 'The Ship of Fools' in Italian:

Nave degli Sciocchi

which sounded very impressive and exotic. With also an interesting reference to the 'nave' of a church, which often does look like an upturned ship.

I wondered what other names for the ship people could discover or come up with, either real or imagined.

Bateau de Bumblers would make a good start. A boat full of people bumbling about (in Frenglish).

Ahem. I think you mean La nef des fous.

"Nef" also means both "boat" and "nave" in French. There might be a pun to be made there. Nave of knaves, or something.

I had a similar thought last night. Proof, if ever I needed it, that fools seldom differ. The Ship is well named!
