Considering there's an article naming Edward as a Welshman, it might be pertinent that in Welsh folk lore, jackdaws are considered sacred (nesting in church steeples keeping it safe from the devil).

Title
Shouldn't this article be called 'The Jackdaw'? It is always referred to as that as other ships were/are. (for example The Titanic) -- Altaïr 18:51, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Aquila, Vulture, Windermere, Leviathan, Randolph. It is how we've named all our ship articles. Nesty Contact me! 19:46, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
Name
Does anyone know of any inspiration for the name? I know that that "Jackdaw" is a type of crow, but I'm not 100% sure if that's relevant. Crimson Knight Intercom 19:39, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
