BBC ran a program on this Temeraire that I listened to most of, interested parties can hear it on Listen Again for a while. --zippedmartin 16:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What is the meaning of the material surrounding the ship in Turner's painting? Radio Sharon (talk) 14:10, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bank Note Reproduction[edit]

I think a statement such as "A reproduction of the painting appears on the back of the Bank of England £20 note issued in 2020" really should have a citation or two.Astrohoundy (talk) 00:43, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

... and inclusion in the body of the article, not just the Lead summary. Davidships (talk) 02:12, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

service in 1809[edit]

According to Peter Goodwin in The ships of Trafalgar p. 44 Temeraire was off Lisbon in May 1809, and returned to Plymouth on 2 January 1811. So when exactly was she sent to the baltic ? Mr.Lovecraft (talk) 11:04, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name meaning[edit]

Téméraire means 'Reckless'. If that's not mentioned already, it should be. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.188.177.247 (talk) 19:53, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
