It's great that we're going to have an article on William Mariner, but it should be put under the right article name. I will move the article to the right name. Zora 22:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, thanks. El_C 23:10, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still working on all the moves, since there was a conflict with the William Mariner who was a Victoria Cross winner. Just about to set up the William Mariner page as a disambiguation page. Zora 23:21, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have a second edition of Mariners Tonga, 2 volumes, given to my mother as a child. She was born in Ha'apai in 1925 as her father was customs officer there for many years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kezviola (talkcontribs) 00:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent discrepancy on prizes

[edit]

The article says 'They captured a number of ships, but most yielded little in the way of valuables' and, later, ' She was laden with the spoils of war and cargo amounting to approximately twelve thousand dollars, including a considerable amount of copper, silver, and gold ore. A large quantity of silver candlesticks, chalices, incense pans, crucifixes, and images complemented the treasure.'. It would be good if we could reconcile these statements.
