Lookfar

One interpretation of the boat Lookfar

Lookfar is the name of Ged's boat. He repaired the boat - which was called Sanderling back then - while he was on The Hands and it was then gifted to him by a boat-builder because Ged cured his cataract. It is a normal looking boat which could accommodate up to three adults and it has two eyes painted on its front. Ged uses the boat till The Farthest Shore where it remains on Selidor.


We called the boat Sanderling, but do you call her Lookfar, and paint eyes aside her prow, and my thanks will look out of that blind wood for you and keep you from rock and reef.
Old man on The Hands by Martin Tomsky is a laser woodcut interpretation of the scene including Lookfar - Ged's iconic boat.
