West Indies

[edit]

>Bourgogne took part in the American Revolutionary War, most notably at the Battle of the Saintes,

Why is the Bourgogne participating in a battle in the West Indies considered taking part in the American Revolutionary War? Rissa, copy editor (talk) 05:04, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

squadron of the Mediterranean

[edit]

>...the squadron of the Mediterranean....

Should this be the "French Squadron of the Mediterranean" or the "Royal Squadron" or some like that? Whose squadron was it? Rissa, copy editor (talk) 05:09, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

840 crew

[edit]

List of shipwrecks in 1783 has the Bourgogne losing 80 of her 840 crew so I added that figure to the article. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 05:15, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two Bourgognes

[edit]

Why was there a ship called the Bourgogne and one called the Duc de Bourgogne in commission at the same time? Just curious. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 05:18, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
