Dates of Capture
[edit]The Danish record sheet for Søormen clearly records capture of this ship by the enemy on 11 August 1808, not November. Tim Voelcker's book "Admiral Saumarez versus Napoleon" (Boydell)pp 49-53 records these actions by Keats and HMS Edgar at Langeland and Nyborg as being in early August, and Voelcker quotes "Tracy, Naval Chronicle IV, pp 183 -8 " as one of his sources. I do not know where November crept into the equation, except that repatriation of the troops from Sweden was reportedly much delayed.
- Have gone back to the original letter in the London Gazette, verified the August date, and corrected the date in the article.Acad Ronin (talk) 21:01, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Søormen in the Danish record was (translated) as "closed boat, kings boat, kings yacht"Viking1808 (talk) 20:07, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
