The Nautilus is a small, wooden sailboat appearing in Season 2 of the animated series, and the novel "Hilda and the Ghost Ship". The name of the boat is revealed in the latter.
The boat originally belonged to an unnamed sailor, who lost it to Wood Man during a game of Sea Bones in the Salty Maiden. With his new boat, Wood Man, accompanied by Hilda and Twig, set sail to find the Draugen. After Wood Man stole a sextant from the Draugen, and their captain Abigail thus decided to make Hilda and Wood Man into members of her crew, the two challenged the Draugen to a race for their freedom. With help of a Weather Spirit, the Nautilus was able to beat the Draugen ship.
The Nautilus was eventually destroyed by the Kraken so she could feed the wood to her young.

- The boat is named after the submarine from Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
