[edit] Problem

The problem I've hit with this page is that because the page title has an accent in the name, it is unfindable by searching. As it is the proper spelling, it should stay, I think, but shouldn't there be a re-direct page with the alternative? I'd do it, but I've no idea how to put an accent into the text.Xyl 54 11:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

Do you have a source for the story of the Dutch ruse to lure the French onto the reef? The French account makes no mention of it, blaming the incident on a navigation error by d’Estrees.

Also, do you think the incident really is unique? There was a similar loss when HMS Association and her consorts were wrecked on the Scilly Isles in 1707.194.176.105.39 14:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
