Hi @Pickersgill-Cunliffe:, are you still pondering over this? --Ykraps (talk) 05:13, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

  Yes. Done. --Ykraps (talk) 09:22, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

• Any more context on Amazon's role in the attempted invasion of Ireland?

  There's not a huge amount to say. Amazon had been sent to apprise John Colpoys, Admiral of the Western Squadron, so wasn't on the scene. I've added a link to the expedition and I could give a bit more background info, if you like. --Ykraps (talk) 08:27, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

  My mistake, Amazon was sent to England; Phoebe was sent to Colpoys. --Ykraps (talk) 09:04, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

  I've added a bit more background. See what you think. --Ykraps (talk) 20:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
