The boat plays a central part in the story, as travel outside the village is very limited without water transport. Much of the time Mark and Jim spend together is on the boat, traveling to remote parishioners, and it is on the boat that Mark gains much of his knowledge about the people of the area. His experience in Kingcome begins and then ends on the boat.
