I'll look into this. New and long enough. Suitably referenced. Close paraphrasing needs fixing:

Article: "he worked at the Admiralty drawing charts of areas surveyed by the Rattlesnake. Late in 1859 he applied for the government post of marine surveyor in the new colony of Queensland and was appointed. On 23 February 1860, before sailing for Queensland, he married Elizabeth Jane"
Source: "he worked at the Admiralty drawing charts of areas surveyed by the Rattlesnake. Late in 1859 as a lieutenant he applied for the government post of marine surveyor in the new colony of Queensland and was appointed. On 23 February 1860, before sailing, he married Elizabeth Jane,"

Hook is referenced and fine as is. Image is old enough to be PD. Schwede 66 02:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
