Talk:List of shipwrecks in 1822

Woah! Country field is used ambiguously!
Should readers assume that the country field establishes where the wreck occurred? Or should it be the nationality of the home-port?

On January 2nd the Helen was wrecked in the "Atlantic Ocean" -- ie international waters. It, however, records UK under country, suggesting the country field is used for the vessel's nationality.

Meanwhile, on January 3rd, the Syren was wrecked in France, but the country field says USA... suggesting the country field encodes the location of the wreck.

If we decide the field should contain the country where the wreck occurred, the title of the field should be named something like "location of the wreck". If it is supposed to contain the nationality of the vessel, the field should be named something like "nationality of the vessel".

All the tables should be consistent. All the entries should be consistent. We shouldn't guess at the vessel's nationality. If the references don't say the field should say unknown.

If a vessel runs aground, or is otherwise damaged, but is repaired, are we going to consider that a "shipwreck"?

These tables should be consistent across years.

Yes, the tables could contain fields for both the location and nationality. But no guessing please!
