 Eye of the Tyger
However, the inhabitants of the ship prove unfriendly, and the Doctor and Fyne are captured by villagers who apparently assume from Fyne’s tiger-like appearance that he and the Doctor are spies for a figure named Seraph.
It soon becomes apparent that the crew and the officers of the ship are at war, and Tx, the leader of the rebels, orders that the Doctor and Fyne be imprisoned along with Seraph’s daughter, Casimir.
Casimir admits that she knows of a way to escape from the village through the service tunnels, but this ship was old when they bought it, and some of the tunnels are occupied by dangerous creatures which have evolved to survive even in the vacuum of space.

In his ship Tyger, Grenville sailed on alone to the rendezvous point off Puerto Rico where he constructed a fortification and built a new pinnace.
He also repaired two of his own ships, Desire and Content, and burned Hugh Gallant because he lacked the men to sail her.
The fleet then sailed on to the Straits of Magellan where the ships encountered furious storms and remained anchored near Cape Froward until mid-May. Winter in the Southern Hemisphere was now upon them and Cavendish was unnerved by all that he and his men had suffered.

Following Hudson's contact with the Native Americans in the Hudson Valley in 1609, the Dutch merchants in Amsterdam had deemed the area worth exploring as a potential source of trade for beaver pelts, which were a lucrative market in Europe at the time.
The following year in 1610, a ship from Monnikendam, skipper Symen Lambertsz Mau, perished in the Hudson River and the following year in 1611, at the commission of a group of Lutheran merchants, Block and fellow captain Hendrick Christiaensen revisited the area Hudson had explored, bringing back furs and two sons of a native sachem.
In this latter ship, he explored the East River and was the first known European to navigate the Hellegat (now called Hell Gate) and to enter Long Island Sound.

As such, Taverner is probably correct in his complaints that the ship was not suited to the task of surveying; it was at the same time too large for inshore work, and had too small a crew for the work of surveying.
His ship was "leewardly," which meant that it tended to drift easily with the wind.

The names Tasmanian tiger and native tiger are still in popular use up to this day.
These are likely the oldest names, as even the Dutch helmsman Jacobszoon (who explored Tasmania in 1624) made mention of the footprints of a "tyger".
Further descriptions of the Tasmanian "tiger" are found in the ship logs of the Dutch East India Company, and the convicts of the penal colony created in 1803 at Derwent River were familiar with the "native tiger".
