Wrong caption on picture?

[edit]

The painting captioned "Blackadder rigged as a barque" clearly shows nothing of the kind - this is the ship in a partially dismasted condition. There seems to be little information about the painting beyond the name of the ship on the State Library of Queensland website. Without any further information, I suggest that this picture is either deleted from this article or recaptioned. The painting appears to be a representation of the dismasting on the maiden voyage - but it does not seem to match the written account of this event very well. Hence I think recaptioning may be counterproductive.ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 19:46, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
