[edit] 1653 Resolution

In the Image:Witmont, Battle of the Gabbard.jpg depicts the encounter between Dutch ship Brederode and a Resolution as early as in 1653, while the first Resolution listed in the page dates back to 1667. Any suggestion?--Panairjdde 14:25, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

The ship depicted is the brand-new Tredagh of 66 cannon; this ship was renamed Resolution in 1660 and was destroyed by a Dutch fireship from Tromp's squadron in the St James's Day Battle in 1666. The renaming is of course the cause of the confusion :o).

O, dear, I made a mistake; though the Tredagh was indeed renamed, the ship pictured was the Prince Royal, renamed Resolution during Commonwealth times, for obvious reasons.--MWAK 14:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sir Thomas Button and a ship named Resolution

Sir Thomas Button sailed a ship named Resolution in search of the Northwest Passage in 1612 along with the Discovery (1602 ship). The "Discovery" was a ship of the British East India Company as perhaps the Resolutin was as well. Button was naval peronnel when he made the voyage in 1612-13 and the Resolution was lost to the ice in Hudson Bay. Stormbay 18:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
