I do not have access to Winfield's British Warships ... however https://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=7320 cites the same book and has her refitted not long after he capture and Mainwaring as taking command in December 1795 which makes better sense for a sho captured in August 1795. --Matilda ^talk 11:24, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Oronoque River in your document cannot be the current Oronoque

There was no fixed spelling and the Orinoco is sometimes written Oronoque. The current Oronoque is a river deep in the interior which cannot be reached by boat because of many waterfalls and rapids, and therefore cannot be the river which is refered to. It refers to the Orinoco which is a navigable river and was already known in 17th century while Oronoque was not explored until 1936! KittenKlub (talk) 13:35, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@KittenKlub: Fair enough. I will be correcting your spelling in the article - Oronico to Orinoco - but also using the name in the source. That may show up as a reversion, but it won't be in reality. Acad Ronin (talk) 16:45, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@KittenKlub: Thanks for correcting Orinoco. I try to be true to sources in the article text, using links to get around name changes t=that have occurred over time. I have also done some tidying up elsewhere in the article.Acad Ronin (talk) 16:58, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
