Talk:Zachary Mudge

Start

A couple of the links need to be cleaned up. Also there's a painting of this fellow, according to the .gov link. It's interesting to think that if he had been just a little quicker with his promotion, he might have headed the Vancouver expedition & the cities of Vancouver might be named "Mudge" rewinn 06:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Mudge Island

According to the Mudge Island Wikipedia article, and webpage, it was named for another Mudge, William Fitzwilliam Mudge. Perhaps a relative? Pustelnik (talk) 01:54, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Great question. Zachary had an older brother William...maybe it was he? I'll have to research further~! rewinn (talk) 22:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Just stumbled across this page, wandering links related to George Vancouver etc -- checked "Mudge Island". BC Geographical Names. and found it says: "William T.F. Mudge was a great-nephew of Lieutenant Zachary Mudge, with Vancouver's expedition". Added ref to Mudge Island page. Btw, was Puget Sound really almost named for Mudge? How much is "almost"? I'm curious now -- and thankful it's Puget and not Mudge Sound, whew! Pfly (talk) 00:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Heh! Mudge was senior to Puget, so it would have been possible for him to be in charge of the explorations south of Admiralty Inlet. Was it mere chance, was it just Puget's turn, or was Puget better at handling small boats? We may never know; perhaps it's just as well ;-) rewinn (talk) 04:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Zachary Mudge. Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
