Boat with ten people onboard from Ship of Fools
Lotte Brand-Philip [Philip, 1955, 81] expressed the view that the Allegory and the Ship of Fools were part of a program depicting May or Spring festivities [Eisler, 1961, 46]. Bax [Bax, 1949] supported this interpretation, and Cuttler [Cuttler, 1969, 274] also concurred by relating the Ship of Fools to representations of May in miniatures popular in the fifteen century.
