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 unsigned comment added by Ignasius Prince ( talk • contribs) 06:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
I have found a number of newspaper accounts from 1913 and 1914 which could call in to question the conclusion this article presently makes about them being fiction. Link to the relevant 1914 article: A tale of the sea, Evening Post Wellington New Zealand 1914 NealeFamily ( talk) 08:28, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moot ( non-admin closure) 70.50.151.11 ( talk) 04:43, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
{{Requested move/dated|Marlborough (clipper ship)}} Marlborough (ship) → Marlborough (clipper ship) – there is more than one ship called "Marlborough", indeed, we have a list of them at HMS Marlborough. Therefore "Marlborough (ship)" should redirect to the disambiguation page Marlborough, and this ship should be renamed to not use ambiguous disambiguation 70.50.151.11 ( talk) 12:01, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
