 * "Sutton was then transferred to the command of the ship of the line HMS Egmont in May 1794" - link ship of the line - ship of the line is already linked in the previous sentence
 * "he did not receive a new command and nor did he expect one." - remove the "and"✅
 * "He continued on station, and just after the Battle of Fort Peter had occurred on 15 January 1815, Jackson sailed up the Chesapeake River and successfully recaptured" - double check the sources here. I'm a bit confused by the "just after", because the the Chesapeake River link here is going to the Chesapeake Bay, which is nowhere near Fort Peter✅ - the source seems to use the battle as a method of dating Jackson's taking of the Indiaman rather than relating the two events in any physical sense. I've removed the battle link and left just the date to hopefully make it clearer.
 * With the death section just a single sentence, I'd recommend just moving that sentence up to after the last sentence about his career✅
 * Sources look reliable enough. I'm not familiar with Accent Press, but it looks like it's affiliated with Hachette (publisher), so it should be fine
 * File:Capnoli b.jpg - would it be possible to get an actual source for this file? "Wikipedia [sic] Commons" isn't very useful for determining where this actually came from - not sure where it came from to be honest, and so have replaced with File:Agamemnon and Ca Ira 1795.jpg which is hopefully better

Good work here, placing on hold. Hog Farm Talk 05:32, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
