Talk:List of sea captains

doesn't say ONLY war captains
Add back

Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), Portuguese

this is a list of sea captains, not a list of military sea captains! If that's what you want, then create that page. (RG 23:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC))

Merge from Captain (nautical)
I merged in two lists that had sprung up in the Captain (nautical) article. The above post makes me wonder if there might be some opposition to this. If so, please let me know at my talk page and I'm sure we can work something out. Cheers. H aus  Talk  20:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

deletion?
list of naval commanders was deleted here, should this page be deleted too? PDBailey (talk) 22:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

rename

 * Okay, so it looks like the decision was to keep, and maybe allow for commanders to be on the list, does the article need a new name? PDBailey (talk) 02:13, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I reckon that the name is ok for now, and we can add in commanders. However we should consider how the list might develop.  How it might be divided or restructured in the future.  What extra columns would be useful ClemMcGann (talk) 02:26, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It does require renameing as the current title allows for the likes of Fyodor Konyukhov, Charlie Barr & Charles J. Moore Richard Phillips (captain) & Sig Hansen. Please, at the very least, consider List of military sea captains. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 00:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Famoius sea captains
Research is a funny thing. I discovered the USA had by far more naval heros than the rest of Europe put together. What a long history they must have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.95.97 (talk) 16:49, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Hilarious, isn't it? Some bloke who was a pilot in New York harbour... notable enough to be included. Captain Cook? Not so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.39.33.70 (talk) 16:54, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
