Hosting royalty

Changed to "sitting royalty" — USS Peacock (1828) previously hosted a clandestine, night-time visit by Prince Pin Klao during the second mission of Edmund Roberts (diplomat); I've added it to the prince's article but not the other two. --Pawyilee (talk) 14:38, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Either you or Edwin C. Bearss, Charlestown Navy Yard, 1800–1842, U.S. Dept. of Interior, 1984, who says Downes was commandant of Charlestown Navy Yard, 1835–1842, is wrong.

Interred

At least in the legend at top, you wanna state where he's buried? It's not exactly an unknown cemetery.
