Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on February 18, 2011, February 18, 2013, February 18, 2015, February 18, 2017, and February 18, 2020.

Heading[edit]

I'm finding the heading of this article misleading:

"[...] 44 vessels escorted by 6 warships, destroying or capturing 20 of them [...]"

"Destroying or capturing" can mean that the result is unknown, which is not true.

"of them" is referred to the 44 vessels, and not to the 6 warships.

I think is just a matter of changing english, but I'm also not finding the appropriate words.Jorgecarleitao (talk) 13:24, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
