Problem about the date : Julian calendar vs Gregorian calendar[edit]

It seems that the date "8 May 1744" for the capture of the ship is correct in the Julian calendar, but in the Gregorian, it is "19 May".

The Julian calendar was in use at this time in protestant Great-Britain, but it could be interesting to inform the reader about this fact, which can be confusing, as other Wikipedia pages (notably French) give "19 May".

I think it would also be clearer if you had one separate paragraph for every Northumberland ship.
