Hanson

[edit]

I've converted his lk (to a Dab whose non-compliance with WP:MOSDAB may be designed to give him something that can pretend to be a WP bio) to plain text. I can't imagine why he is mentioned at all.

Here's what the Dab page said abt him, based on one of the refs on the accompanying article:
Lieutenant James Hanson was 2nd officer on the HMS Chatham (1788) during its round-the-world explorations as part of the Vancouver Expedition, 1791-1795. He drowned January 1800.

Sinking?

[edit]

I found this article in an old newspaper archive online about a brig named the Chatham being shipwrecked (after 1830, so it corresponds with this article's information), and was curious as to whether it's the same Chatham as mentioned in this article. If so, is it worth including in this article? Link: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/101734584/9711749# RobotSpark (talk) 07:41, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
