HMS Trial (1744)

5x expanded by Euryalus (talk). Self-nominated at 14:55, 25 September 2015 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Expanded more than 5x, long enough, neutral and violates no policies I'm aware of. Citations are adequate, if a bit sparse; the article relies heavily on one source, but I suppose that's to be expected for a small 18th century ship. The hook is sourced, interesting and short enough. I'm not quite sure how to go about checking for copyright violations, but it seems highly unlikely, barring wholesale copying of Colledge's book (the most cited reference).
