Talk:Phoenix (1809 ship)

Identifying the ship

Would like confirmation from any John Palmer experts.Pustelnik 16:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC) I am not sure if this is the same ship or not: The English ship Phoenix, Captain Hugh Moore. It was active in the Pacific Northwest fur trade to China 1792-1794. It was described as a brig or a snow, and was also described as being from Bengal or Bengall.Pustelnik 15:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC) [1] [2] [3] [4]

It is not clear which Phoenix discovered the Phoenix islands, as different sources mention different ships. See EH Bryan's American Polynesia, as quoted by Jane Resture at http://www.janeresture.com/kiribati_phoenix_group/phoenix.htm Pustelnik 16:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

worth a look if anyone's got time. Gwinva 05:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

What is "of London" supposed to mean?

Perhaps the article should actually mention London, and this ship's relation to London, if "of London" is supposed to be the primary identifying characteristic of the ship. Propaniac (talk) 18:41, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
