1653 Resolution
In the Image:Witmont, Battle of the Gabbard.jpg depicts the encounter between Dutch ship Brederode and a Resolution as early as in 1653, while the first Resolution listed in the page dates back to 1667. Any suggestion?--Panairjdde 14:25, 11 May 2005 (UTC)


 * The ship depicted is the brand-new Tredagh of 66 cannon; this ship was renamed Resolution in 1660 and was destroyed by a Dutch fireship from Tromp's squadron in the St James's Day Battle in 1666. The renaming is of course the cause of the confusion :o).

 * O, dear, I made a mistake; though the Tredagh was indeed renamed, the ship pictured was the Prince Royal, renamed Resolution during Commonwealth times, for obvious reasons.--MWAK 14:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Sir Thomas Button and a ship named Resolution

 * Sir Thomas Button sailed a ship named Resolution in search of the Northwest Passage in 1612 along with the Discovery (1602 ship). The "Discovery" was a ship of the British East India Company as perhaps the Resolution was as well. Button was naval peronnel when he made the voyage in 1612-13 and the Resolution was lost to the ice in Hudson Bay. Stormbay 18:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * While wintering at Port Nelson, Manitoba many men died of scurvy, therefore the Resolution was abandoned and the voyage continued in the Discovery. The Port Nelson and the Nelson River were named after the master of the Resolution who died and was buried there. (Arthur S. Morton, A History of the Canadian West',page 30,no date, perhaps 1960) Benjamin Trovato (talk) 01:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

12th Resolution
I believe the reference to the 12th Resolution on this article is actually the HMNZS Resolution (A-14). --JAYMEDINC 03:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

1770 vs 1771
Cook's ship is listed as 1771 but the 1770 ship is listed until 1782. Overlap of the same ship or two with the same name? --MartinezMD (talk) 04:53, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
