Renaming the article to Mahroussa ? edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The ship was renamed Mahroussa; she is presently widely known as Mahroussa in the news (I've checked in spanish, german, english, french news sites). If noone disagrees, in a week or two, I will rename. Alvar☮ 09:37, 6 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Why wait? Could do with expansion too. Davidships (talk) 13:26, 7 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Suez Speculation. edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I can find no contemporary source of Mahrousa being in the vanguard at the opening of the Suez Canal in 1879. According to Popular Science June 1924 Page 26, the lead ship was L'Aigle, the French Royal Yacht.

The Suez Canal by S. C. Burchell agrees with the fact that L'Aigle carried Eugenie, and though they fail to mention the HMS Newport incident, there is no mention of the Mahrousa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.210.143 (talk) 23:25, 30 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
