The "Jenny" is mentioned on this page, appreantly in relation to a poem. That page mentions that the source is apparently an issue of Globus (which I think was a German geographical journal) from 1862. Mako 01:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This story is reprinted - with perhaps some minor elaboration for dramatic effect - in The New Believe it or not! Second Series By Ripley (published 1931 by Simon & Schuster). Whilst Ripley doesn't give any source for this tale, the article does mention that the last port of call for the "Jenny" was Lima, Peru, and that Captain Brighton removed the log of the "Jenny" and deposited it with the Admirality in England upon his return. I submit these 'facts' in the hope that this might provide someone with a few hours to kill at the National Archives in London a slight chance to try to put a few more bones on this legendary tale by ploughing through the Admiralty records for the period Mighty Antar 01:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reference[edit]

I'm not sure a poem is a great reference for an encyclopedia, especially without any other references. The whole story sounds fictional, so unless some other sources can be found I'm going to nominate this for deletion. Anynobody 10:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Context[edit]

At last, a source has appeared online (in Google Books) that provides a secondary source for our editorial suspicions that the original story may just be folklore. There's still a chance that this anonymous report exists somewhere in the bowels of the Admiralty, but I don't think we need to worry about looking for it now. --Dhartung | Talk 07:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
