The Beatrice

The Beatrice was named after Beatrice, the woman Lemony Snicket dedicates all of his books to. The boat first appeared in The Penultimate Peril when Carmelita Spats was using it in the pool on Hotel Denouement's rooftop salon. At this point the words "The Carmelita" were taped on the ship over its real name. When the hotel caught fire Count Olaf, and Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, set sail on the ship. Count Olaf then put the name "The Olaf" on it. They were stranded on the ship with only beans to eat until a storm washed the boat and all its contents to an island's coastal shelf, washing off the taped names to reveil "The Beatrice." Over a year later, the Baudelaires departed from the island on the boat to civilization.

The Carmelita, which makes its first appearance in The Grim Grotto, is a submarine named after Carmelita Spats. It is in the shape of a giant octopus, and the interior is decorated with numerous eye insignias that are similar to the tattoo on Count Olaf's ankle. There is a large room in which the Snow Scouts are forced to row long metal oars that function as the arms of the octopus, thereby steering the submarine. It is much larger than The Queequeg, which can fit inside the Carmelita.

As shown in its name, not much is known about The Great Unknown. All that is known is on radar it appears in the shape of a question mark. During The End, it is mentioned that the Queequeg sailed out to sea to find the self-sustaining hot air balloon. Kit tells the Baudelaires the fate of the Quagmires, Hector, Captain Widdershins and his two stepchildren Fernald and Fiona; after reuniting on Hector's float, they are attacked by trained eagles, who pop their balloon and send them hurtling back to the the ruins of the Queequeg. There, they are taken by the mysterious object shaped like a question mark (encountered once before when they were on the Queequeg). The author goes on to call the question mark "The Great Unknown", which is often an euphemism for what comes after death.

The ship was scheduled to leave at 8:00 to some unknown destination, but in actuallity left at 5:00, in order to take volunteers out of the country. Count Olaf was unaware of this schedule change 1 (possibly because it was written on the special V.F.D. tickets Dr. Montgomery had presumably purchased), but intended to leave much earlier (in order to, "have time for a bottle of wine before lunch").


A man on the Black Rapids Deck (see below) attempted to explain why the ship was leaving early, but was only heard to shout out the words, "Phase Two,"2 and, "Drat!"

The boat has a "crew of two" who usually number three: Captain Widdershins, the captain; Fiona Widdershins, chief engineer; and Phil, the cook. Prior to her death, Fiona's mother was the "second" of the crew of two, and the submarine saw numerous replacements for her before Phil's arrival, including the Snicket brothers, Kit Snicket, and a woman who turned out to be a spy. The crew is later joined by Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire. The chief purpose of the submarine is to find the sugar bowl, which had been washed from the V.F.D. headquarters in the Mortmain Mountains out to sea and into the Gorgonian Grotto.

The vessel is named after Queequeg, a character in the novel Moby-Dick, and for this reason, the crew all wear shirts with an image of the face of Herman Melville, author of Moby-Dick, as a uniform.

Moby-Dick book cover Moby-Dick - the official title of the first edition - is a novel by Herman Melville. ... Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, essayist and poet. ...


After the disappearance of Captain Widdershins and Phil, the Queequeg is captured by the Carmelita (named after Carmelita Spats), an octupus-shaped submarine belonging to Count Olaf. Subsequently, Fiona joins the crew of the Carmelita in order to stay with her brother Fernald. However, she helps the Baudelaires escape and take the submarine to Briny Beach, where they meet Kit Snicket. It is assumed that the submarine was abandoned there. In The Penultimate Peril, Lemony Snicket mentions that, because he misread a group of sausages as spelling a K rather than an R, he caused the loss of 'an important bathyscaphe', possibly referring to the Queequeg. Carmelita Spats is a fictional character in Lemony Snickets series of the childrens novels, A Series of Unfortunate Events. ... Count Olaf is the main villain from Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events series. ... Briny Beach is a fictional beach in the A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. ... Kit Snicket is a fictional character in a book series by by Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events. ...


In The End, it is mentioned that the Queequeg sailed out to sea to find the self-sustaining hot air balloon. Kit tells the Baudelaires the fate of the Quagmires, Hector, Captain Widdershins and his two stepchildren Fernald and Fiona; after reuniting on Hector's float, they are attacked by trained eagles, who pop their balloon and send them hurtling back to the the ruins of the Queequeg. There, they are taken by the mysterious object shaped like a question mark (encountered once before when they were on the Queequeg). The author goes on to call the question mark "The Great Unknown", which is often an euphemism for what comes after death.
