The translation is by Roland Desnerck, the author of the unsurpassed Oostends Dictionary and great expert on the life of the sea people from the coastal city. They chose the album De Zwarte Rocks because in this story Tintin jumps on the mill boat to Dovers from the Ostend quay to start his Scottish adventure.
