Popular Culture
In 1947 a radio program called Voyage of the Scarlet Queen was set on a ketch. The Scarlet Queen was a 78-foot ketch with a white hull, teak decking, brass bright-work, and sporting the 'Scarlet Queen' herself, on the bowsprit, naked as the day she was born, "a fresh, young body . . . looking forward, . . bold, teasing . . . dressed in only a crown, and painted brilliant red."
A William Garden designed Formosa 51 ketch named "Wanderer" was the main setting in the 1992 cult classic "Captain Ron". Three Formosa 51s were used in filming.
