Incorrect image?[edit]

The image used from Wikimedia Commons may be captioned HMS St Vincent but it looks nothing like the ship compared to her appearance in photographs. In fact, it's not a picture of a ship of the line at all, but apparently of a frigate or sloop.Cenedi (talk) 23:21, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its definitely wrong, St Vincent she may be but its almost certainly another ship with the same name. The library tag says just 'St Vincent (ship)'. From the flags at her fore and main mast, I'd say she was a commercial vessel, the one at the mainmast is surely a house flag. Benea (talk) 18:46, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The particular vessel (image) talked about here was the St Vincent (1829), which sailed on the Australia Run, carrying emigrants or convicts. Broichmore (talk) 13:27, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
