British Warships in the Age of Sail 1817-1863: Design, Construction, Careers and Fates. Barnsley, South Yorkshire: Seaforth Publishing. p. 288. ISBN 978-1-84832-169-4. and "Surly ... L. 18.3.1856" from p372 of the same source

Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 11:10, 9 November 2020 (UTC).
New articles that were moved to mainspace on 9 November 2020 are 3,106 and 2,450 characters, respectively, and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected in either article [1][2] and no close paraphrasing issues spotted (AGF scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Articles are well-sourced. Hook is 127 characters long (ALT1 is 124); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Ref by Winfield used in both articles (verifying both the hook and ALT1) is a reliable source (AGF as there is no preview available). Both QPQs done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:17, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
