Over the years I have seen many names used for ferroboats, often cleverly concocted from word associations with cement, concrete and stone etc. Below is a short list as well as several pictures.

  • 'Maid Of Seamint'
  • 'Maid Of Portland'
  • 'Loadstone'
  • 'Brimstone'
  • 'Touchstone'
  • 'Sementiciious'
  • 'Concretia'
  • 'Concors'
  • 'Bedrock'
  • 'Rocco'
  • 'Rocko'
  • 'Rocky'
  • 'Stonechat'
  • 'Lady Silica'
