ALT1:... that future British general John Hunter Littler was captured by the French in 1800 when they seized the
Kent and had to complete his journey to India by
pinnace? "He went out to India in the Indiaman Kent, which was captured by a French privateer in the Bay of Bengal. The passengers were set adrift in a pinnace, but arrived safely at their destination." from the same source
article is new enough, long enough, well written, neutral, well referenced. Hooks are both verified in the given source as per the quotes provided and are interesting. QPQ is done and there is no indication of copyvio here or in the article. The image is good, nice quality and colors and suitably licensed, pretty confident that PD-art is sufficient here. Nice work,
