In the nakshatra sky of late January was the Sunken Ship (Argo Navis). Possibly Naos (ζ Puppis) marked 8h:

There is smoke rising from the chimney and therefore fire must be inside the Ark (although Heap of Fire is μ Cancri). In July 24 was Bright Fire (λ Cancri) rising with the Sun.

... After they had thrown the fish on the beach, Ira said, 'Make a fire and prepare the fish!' When he saw that there was no fire, Ira said, 'One of you go and bring the fire from Hanga Te Pau!' One of the young men went to the fire, took the fire and provisions (from the boat), turned around, and went back to Hanga Hoonu. When he arrived there, he sat down. They prepared the fish in the fire on the flat rocks, cooked them, and ate until they were completely satisfied. Then they gave the name 'The rock, where (the fish) were prepared in the fire with makoi (fruit of Thespesia populnea?) belongs to Ira' (Te Papa Tunu Makoi A Ira). They remained in Hanga Hoonu for five days ...

The form of the 'Teapot' is placed so that part of it is the Archer's arrow and part of it is his serpentine (like a flow of water) bow:

κ Velorum in Argo Navis (Markab) is at the bottom of Vela which means at the bottom left corner of the door frame for the closed entrance to Noah's ship (where time moves from left to right in Hevelius fashion), but there is also a κ Puppis (which is strange because otherwise the Greek letters for the stars have been kept from the time when there was a single constellation Argo Navis:

According to my conviction that antipodal constellations share the same characteristics, although inverted, it could be useful to compare Sagittarius with Argo Navis.

I imagine the Teapot is somewhat similar to the Carina outline. Above Carina is Vela and between is an undulating channel, which can be contrasted with how the very straight shaft of the Archer's arrow is above the Teapot.

The Polynesian word Ra(a) means both Sun (the great Fire) and sail. Sun is inside the Ark. Maybe also below the Teapot, which could be at Corona Australis.
