Author Tom Quinn (in "Military's Strangest Campaigns and Characters", Robson Books [2006]) claimed that a British naval vessel came across the Marlborough Glasgow, still afloat and with sails set off the coast of Chile in 1913. A boarding party found the crew members deceased and the author further claims that tests were conducted on their skeletal remains failed to indicate a cause of death. Quinn not only failed to name the British naval vessel, but her commander, and did not indicate if the Marlborough was taken into any port or was left adrift. —Preceding

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Comment to closer: When proposed, this article was
Marlborough (ship). As consensus was achieved for a move to
Marlborough (1876 ship), the move was not controversial, and has been implemented. An apparent effect of that implementation is that the new name is displayed in the box above in the "move from" field, rather than the former name. As the move has now been made there is no need for further action here.

Oppose.This was not a clipper ship. Where is the support for the assertion that the vessel was a clipper? A clipper is not simply a three-masted sailing ship, but a specialized vessel of the middle third of the nineteenth century, with additional sails and kites above and outboard of the normal sails of a three-masted squarerigger, extra crew to work those sails, and fine lines.

Query and Suggestion If the Marlborough is not a clipper then someone needs to update the info box - it is called a clipper there. One of you nautical types might be able to put in its appropriate type. A suggestion would then to call the article something along the lines Marlborough (1867 type of ship).

I've now changed it to
full-rigged ship, which may be as good a type as any, although
merchant ship would be an overlapping and more general type. The vessel likely also was, or had elements of, a
windjammer and
bulk carrier, and and was also used to convey passengers-- all of which shows that general-purpose vessels do not fit easily into a single ship type. But as there are no naval vessels of this name launched the same year, I think that Marlborough (1867) suffices.

On the assumption that "1867" is a transposition of "1876" (the given date of launch)-- an error which I did not catch before-- I have moved this page to "Marlborough (1876 ship)".

The [old] title then should be a redirect to the present dab page at
Marlborough#Other_uses Now that the page has been renamed seemingly satisfactorily, can we then carry through with the redirect repoint and close this discussion? --

England-New Zealand via the Horn?
'...a sailing ship like the Johnson would not normally sail on this route to reach New Zealand – the usual route being the Clipper route around the Horn if sailing from England. See map.'
