Credits The following short list of persons and/or organizations helped made this project a reality. There are many others who I never had the pleasure of meeting, and still more I know nothing about. My gratitude and thanks goes out to them all. However, this page will be under construction for some time and I expect the list to lengthen.Ken Annett, who worked on this project more than a dozen years ago. Without his generous contribution, I would not have even known of the existance of H.M.S. Penelope Court Martial. Unfortunately, only the index of his vast historical contribution of over 500 monographs covering our lower Saint Lawrence maritime history, is available on internet. David Asprey, who generously shared with us his extensive knowledge of maritime history, ships and navigation. Particular thanks for editing with a critical eye for detail. Mike Phillips "potted" history of H.M.S. Penelope gives details rarely available on maritime disasters. We are privileged with his non-technical details on British naval vessels. MarHst-L, the Marine History Information Exchange group, with Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, Canada and the 400+ knowledgeable, considerate and generous members who endured my quiries. Thanks to Madelene Allen, who painstakingly dug into H.M.S. Penelope records at PRO Public Record Office to locate preliminary documents relating to H.M.S. Penelope. UQAR, Université de Québec à Rimouski, has been the mainstay of this project. ANQ, Archives nationales de Québec, who over the years have helped make all this project possible. Many thanks to the personnel at Bibliothèque Jean-Louis Desrosiers at Mont Joli for sharing their expertise, patience and enthouiasm.
