"The"?

Was the article the actually part of the name of the ship, meaning, was it the Emma or The Emma as currently titled? — Bellhalla (talk) 10:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're quite correct, the ship name does appear to have been The Emma. Should we move the article, perhaps to Emma (ship)? Parrot of Doom (talk) 15:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That would be the best place per the Ships naming conventions. — Bellhalla (talk) 16:42, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for spotting this. Parrot of Doom (talk) 20:46, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The date was correctly the 29th, being, as Wright-Procter explains, a leap year Chorlton Bloke (talk) 12:38, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
