Missing crew ?

If it had a crew complement of 120, why were only 32 drowned and 7 captured when it capsized ? What happened to the other 81 ? StuRat 15:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naval Jack

I find it hard to believe that a ship in 1842 used the naval jack used 1960-2002? --Broadbeer 11:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Three weeks to build?

From laying the keel to launch in about 3 weeks? Shouldn't that be more like a year?

Laid down: 16 April 1842
Launched: 12 May 1842

Mutiny

The mutiny was by far the most famous event, and deserves its own article, Somers Mutiny which I have started. Rjensen (talk) 12:09, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
