Rømø ist not a Frisian Island

The title is confusing because Rømø is not a Frisian island. Maybe "Wadden Sea Islands" would be a better title (like in the Danish Wikipedia). 217.94.58.191 (talk) 08:52, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which Archibald Maclean?

Reference:

Hammer had used the night to set off in the Wadden Sea with his gunboat Liimfoerd. He was only caught in the evening by the Prussian gunboat Blitz, then lowered the flag and handed over his sword with his first officer at 7:30 p.m., a few hours before the armistice came into force. This was forwarded to Prince Adalbert by the commander of the Blitz, lieutenant Archibald MacLean.

The commander of the Blitz would be a German officer. I removed the link to a British officer, who was of the wrong generation. I suggest that this officer was to later be Rear Admiral Maclean, who in the summer of 1880 commanded the German navy in the Baltic "the noble descendant of a noble Scottish emigrant, who accompanied Keith to Berlin in the time of Frederick the Great," according to the Globe, " and was the first Prussian naval cadet. He early distinguished himself, took an active part in the improvement of the German navy, and commanded the Prinz Aldabert on her late voyage round the world. His resignation is generally deplored, as it will deprive the Imperial service of one of its most experienced and valuable officers." Shipsview (talk) 16:54, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
