I think there are two different questions being answered here. If the question<br>
is whether the Whorl could be a precursor to Tzadkiel's Ship I suppose the<br>
answer is yes.<br>
<br>
If the question is whether Wolfe intended The Whorl to be a precursor to<br>
Tzadkiel's Ship I think the answer is probably not. As has been noted, there<br>
is not much structural or funtional similarity between these ships.<br>
Moreover,if Wolfe had intended to show a progression I would think he would<br>
have put some sort of clues in the story to that effect, especially at the<br>
end of RTTW. I don't see any.<br>
