Not H.M.S. Cinque Ports (1703)? --Wetman 09:58, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

possibly (and quite likely too), but I have no knowledge of that. Do you? - Ian ≡ talk 10:15, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

"with the loss of most of her crew." - is this true? I'm pretty sure I saw a TV documentary about Selkirk, which said that after it sank its crew were picked up by either a French or Spanish ship (I forget which) and spent several years imprisoned by them. I believe Selkirk got home before the captain did. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 10:16, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

I'm fairly certain about that but don't have the reference at my fingertips right now. I will respond asap. - Ian ≡ talk 10:29, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
a fairly quick search found this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/scottishhistory/europe/oddities_europe.shtml (see 3rd last para) - Ian ≡ talk 10:34, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
