The article gives a date built of 1804, but the above document gives a date of after that for the construction of the Union Dock ". Built sometime between 1817 and 1842 within an established shipyard founded by William Gibson (late of Airmyn) in 1805" - there probably was a shipyard prior to 1805.. but the www.hullcc.gov.uk (Hull City Council) history is probably incomplete - but if anyone can clarify this please leave a message - the current place the dry docks of Hull are being covered is at Port of Hull, so please leave a message on that talk page. Thanks in advance.83.100.224.91 (talk) 22:43, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

also http://www.hmforces.co.uk/Join_The_Forces/articles/1833-hms-dauntless-type-45-destroyer gives an online reference - but states 500 barrels not 600.Sf5xeplus (talk) 13:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to http://www.paul-gibson.com/history/dry-docks.php (expected to be reliable) "1805 A further notice to 'Merchants, owners, and masters of ships' informs that 'Wm Gibson has removed from the shipyard and dry dock which he lately occupied, adjoining the North Bridge to the large and commodious opposite the Dock Bason....' (June 28th)" - the larger later shipyard is almost certainly Union dock. Gibson was probably located at "NORTH BRIDGE YARD" when the dauntless was built. - I'll change this but please check.Sf5xeplus (talk) 14:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
