Caption[edit]

The Sybil and the Panther in the image caption should be transposed. The ship in the right foreground is clearly a two-decker, i. e. the Panther. --Боцман (talk) 02:12, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

"Fortunately, Wood and his boats had the wind and reached the merchantman first."

Why was that fortunately? It was definitely unfortunately for the French merchant crew. 84.87.204.78 (talk) 22:09, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
