Bonaparte Posted March 8, 2007 Nice list B *y* ,There's also a useful article in answers.com on the HMS Surprise http://www.answers.com/topic/hms-surprise P The text of the Wikipedia article for the HMS Surprise is identical as the text in your article... that's funny :) I have added the wiki-link of the HMS Surprise and I have edited the wikipedia page to add the external link to the HMS Rose/Surprise homepage (was missing in the wiki-article). You must have been quite busy! I have to take some time to read some of those... Like Napoleon Bonaparte or the Dutch Royal navy...Mr Tiber Did you know there existed a Royal Netherlands Navy Jack? It's in the article on the Royal Netherlands Navy. I wonder when this flag was introduced in the Dutch Navy. Any idea Mr. Tiber? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted March 9, 2007 What method did you use to find all these links Mr Bonaparte? Can you use the Invasion Powerboard Search Engine to find URLs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted March 9, 2007 What method did you use to find all these links Mr Bonaparte? Can you use the Invasion Powerboard Search Engine to find URLs? You can find the threads that have a link to wikipedia with the Invasion Powerboard Search Engine. Once you know this, you have to start looking in that thread manualy for the link. When you mentioned this idea some time ago, I started collecting the links and put them in a text-file on my PC. Two days ago I felt I had a good list to post here.

Mister Phes Posted March 9, 2007 You have done exceptionally well. You should take shore leave and some spend time with your lovelys onboard the L'Orient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted March 11, 2007 Hey B, would you be willing to put the USS Constitution and Six original US frigates on the Wikipedia index? The other five frigates weren't nearly as well known as the USS Constitution, but here they are just in case: USS United States USS Constellation USS Chesapeake USS Congress USS President P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonaparte Posted March 11, 2007 Were you aware there was a Pirate LEGO Wikipedia article though? I have been aware of it, but I had forgotten it again... Who added the external link to our forum in the Pirate LEGO Wikipedia article? Did you do that Mr. Phes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted March 12, 2007 I've just realised Mr Bonaparte has forgotten to add the most important Wikipedia article of them all...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Pirate Hey that's an important one, EB is even mentioned. ;-) Those are some great ships.I've started a section about USA. ... Yeah, i really like them. The english were told not to engage any US frigate unless their ship had at least 64 guns(or something like that) The US frigates had only 44 guns. They could out run anything bigger than them and catch up to any one who was smaller. P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
