Talk:Trindade (island)

Agree with merger proposal--User:AYArktos | Talk 21:32, 20 October 2005 (UTC) I think the articles should be merged with Trindade and Martim Vaz. I will retag and, after leaving some time for comment, action the merge.--User:AYArktos | Talk 22:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

The Alerte had been a cutter, but was converted by Knight into a yawl. "... [she was] a somewhat heavily sparred vessel, so we resolved to convert her into a yawl. So the main boom was shortened, the area of the mainsail considerably reduced, and a mizzen-mast was stepped in the counter..." A yawl has its mizzen mast stepped abaft the rudder head.TheToxicAvenger 06:30, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
