What are all the steps on the organic chemistry diagram called The Boat?

When I learnt A-level chemistry, I was told to use a diagram the teacher called The Boat.


It was a diagram illustrating all the chemical reactions that you can do to simple organic compounds. For instance, the mast of the boat, showed reduction/oxidation of alcohol ⇌ aldehyde ⇌ ketone, if I remember correctly?


I'm looking for a copy of this exact diagram (so please do not recommend others), to reference, if I ever need to discuss these reactions.


My assumption is that this was not an illustration that only existed at my secondary school, and that my description is enough to identify it by. If not, please do let me know in a comment.




I hadn't heard of a "boat" diagram, but the alcohol-aldehyde-ketone "mast" rang a bell, so I went hunting...
Is this the "boat" diagram you're talking about (or similar to it)?

I can see how the alcohol/aldehyde/ketone interactions would make something akin to the mast and boom of a sailboat, though the rest takes a bit more squinting to work into place. :)


edit: The following link also came up while searching, though the reactions you mention aren't in the mast of the boat in this diagram; if your "boat" was drawn from the side rather than from the top, however, this might have been something akin to what you'd been shown.
