Talk:HMS Renown (1798)

Hornblower
About the Hornblower paragraph. The captain was not killed by the fall down the hatch. He was killed by escaping Spanish prisoners as they attacked the Renown's crew. A minor detail, but worth noting.

Just a thought, but is it confusing to talk about a fictitious ship along with the historical one? Should we perhaps create a sub-category 'Hornblower's Ships' under Category:Hornblower novels (not all that difficult to do), move the information and and put a link to it here?Cenedi 09:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

HMS Renown Crew.
My ancestor was the cook on the Renown - John Penicud Born 1772 - Died 1839. Does anyone have any information on him. 76.64.107.111 (talk) 20:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
