Talk:HMS Thetis

Note re Thetis Lake

...and other Thetis-placnemaes in BC. On Thetis Lake I've dabbed the entry for HMS Thetis with the 1846 version; it was sold ot the Russians in 1855; the next on the list was built in 1871, but I think that's too late for this round of namings, which IIRC was in the 1840s-early 50s. The name-origin file at BCGNIS doesn't say; does anyone know here whether v.1846 served out of Esquimalt, or would that be v.1871.Skookum1 (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Both spent time in the Pacific. If the lake was named by the early 1850s then it was the Thetis launched in 1846, but you would need more accurate dates to be sure. Benea (talk) 18:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
