Wrong George

edit

"By November 1823 Kamehameha II decided he would go to visit the King of Great Britain. Although it was suggested to use the royal yacht, a whaling ship called L'Aigle was used since the crew would be more familiar with the route. Kamehameha II died while waiting for an audience with King George III and would never see his yacht again."

Since George III died in 1820, Kameehameha would indeed have had a long wait for an audience in 1823 ! Obviously a bogus story.Eregli bob (talk) 11:26, 21 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Oops, you are right it was off by one George. Number 4 was the one at the time. Fixed, thanks for the sanity check. W Nowicki (talk) 19:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
