It was mentioned in passing this last episode that Artemis Campbell was in the market for a large sail yacht, something she could live on when getting away from business in the Adriatic.

Ariel is a Bermuda-rigged sail yacht 60′ in length designed by Andre Mauric for French businessman Paul Blanchet in 1940.  Because of the war, the boat was scuttled in Marseilles harbor to keep the Germans from breaking er up for the 13 tons of lead in her keel.  She was refloated in 1947 and bought by Artemis Campbell, notorious smuggling queen of the Adriatic.
