Characters
The series features four characters.
Piet Piraat "Peter Pirate" (Peter Vandevelde): The captain of the Scheve Schuit (The Crooked Barge in English, although it is anything but crummy). He appears to be far more intelligent than the others and is always there to resolve any problems or fights.
Stien Struis "Steen Ostrich" (Anke Helsen): Strong, but a little dim, Stien tries to solve everything by using her strength, managing only to break stuff in the process.
Berend Brokkenpap "Barry Stuffinthecereal"(Dirk Bosschaert): The ship's chef, and a decidedly sneaky character. Berend is constantly causing problems, staging pranks and generally annoying the rest of the crew, but he always gets his comeuppance, only to fall back into his old behaviour after apologizing.
Steven Stil "Steven Silence" (Dirk van Vooren): His name translates to 'Silent Steve' since he is unable to talk. Although Steven is Berend's sidekick, he often finds himself on the receiving end of whatever it is that goes wrong.

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”

“Socialist writers are made of sterner stuff than those who only let their characters steeplechase through trouble in order to come out first in the happy ending of moral uplift.”
