Talk:HMS Seahorse (1794)

Seahorse wrecked of Tramore, Ireland in 1816
The Sea Horse, a sailing transport ship, made her last voyage from Ramsgate in England to Cork in Ireland with 16 officers and 287 soldiers of the 59th Regiment, together with 33 women and 38 children on board when she was wrecked off Tramore in a violent storm. Could this vessel have been the seahorse built in 1794? What evidence is there that she was broken up in July 1819? Shipsview (talk) 19:33, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I am informed that The Seahorse I am seeking was not a Frigate as some modern writers have indicated. She was/had:
 * 280 tons (Thomas Redding, a crew member)
 * 360 tons (Lieutenant Henry Hartford, army officer, a survivor)
 * 350 tons (Lieutenant A McPherson, army officer, a survivor)
 * 350 tons (Colonel McGregor, brother of an officer who perished)
 * 3 masts, foremast, main mast and a mizzen mast (therefore, a barque and not a brig (a 2 mast vessel)
 * Quarter deck
 * Quarter deck boats, attached to the mizzen mast.
 * There is mention of “between decks” so she had probably two, if not three decks.
 * She must have been between 110 and 150 feet in length to accommodate nearly 400 people though they were in cramped conditions.

Orphaned references in HMS Seahorse (1794)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of HMS Seahorse (1794)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:28, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
