Talk:French brig Colibri (1802)

Papal States

edit

The article gives the Papal States' name as San Petro; but the redirect is from Papal States brig San Pietro. The latter looks more likely (correct Italian - and Latin would be Sanctus Petrus), but I have no access to the refs (except Roche, which doesn't mention either).

@Davidships: I agree that San Pietro makes more sense and changed the names where appropriate; however, I have put in the cites to the San Petro variant. The "San Petro" comes for Winfield& Roberts. As you know, Roche only lists her as Colibri, and only covers her until the hand-off to the Papal States.Acad Ronin (talk) 17:00, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Acad Ronin: Thanks. I suspect an error somewhere along the line. and listed her as San Petro - do W&R indicate their source for that listing? Davidships (talk) 17:37, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Davidships: Probably French naval records, but no specific attribution. Acad Ronin (talk) 18:52, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
