"double-timbered"? "single-timbered"? apparently important[edit]
"...double-timbering, and she may have been the first single-timbered... ship..." Apparently this is an important point. Perhaps it is the lasting feature, in what is otherwise a historical anecdote. Could it be expanded to explain what "double-timbered" and "single-timbered" entail? Hull construction of some type, one imagines...--Wetman (talk) 01:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Coat of arms of Bermuda: Does it depict Sea Venture?[edit]
According to this page
The coat of arms of Bermuda features a representation of the Sea Venture wreck.
But according to the page on the Coat of arms of Bermuda
The wrecked ship is that of a French ship under the command of Captain M. de la Barbotiere, not the Sea Venture, the flagship of the Virginia Company.
So which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMY1000 (talk • contribs) 04:44, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- I've reverted Coat of arms of Bermuda. I've no idea which ship it is, but the only source provided says it is the Sea Venture; if someone thinks it is a different ship, they need to provide a source.
- Most sources I can find, including Britannica and at least one book in print, seem to say that it is indeed the Sea Venture.
- One exception is the Bermuda National Library, who you might expect to know; they say that it's yet another ship, the Edward Bonaventure, in 1593. I can find very little about this ship (it mostly seems to be of interest to Oxfordians, and most of the sources I can find seem to suggest that it wasn't shipwrecked at all....
