Talk:Turbinia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Was Parsons invited to the naval review or not?

The text of this article states that 'Parsons ship turned up unannounced', a statement which is confirmed by the reference [1] however reference [2] states 'It was on this occasion that Turbinia after permission had been obtained (my emphasis), was to steam up and down the lines and astonish everyone by her performance'.

Employees at CE Parsons in the 1970's were told that he arrived unannounced and I understand that the Birr Castle site has good connections to the family and should be trusted, however this discrepancy between sources needs to be better explained and possibly reference [2] should be corrected if it is the one that is wrong.

I am emailing the webmaster for reference [2] to get their input, and will also get a message to the webmaster for reference [1].
