Talk:White Ship

message: I would like to try to insert a partial passenger list, with the help of the page editors.  I'm somewhat amazed to discover that there are no books written on the White Ship, which had such a dramatic effect on English and French history.  So this Wikipedia article really is it.  I'm a librarian, so I'll be happy to source the names. 
This is one list I've found (not sourced yet, or corrected):
* William Adelin, heir to the English throne
* his half-brother Richard FitzRoy of Lincoln
* his half-sister Matilda FitzHenry, Countess of Perche (sometimes called Marie de Mortagne)
* Richard d'Avranches, second Earl of Chester
* his brother Otheur or Othuel d'Avranches, governor of the King's sons
* the Countess of Chester, Mathilda or Lucia-Mahaut of Blois, the King's neice
* Geoffrey Ridel, Royal Justice, Son-in-law of Hugh, Earl of Chester
* William Bigod, Steward of the household of King Henry
* Ivo II de Grandmesnil
* William Grandmesnil (a brother of Ivo II de Grandmesnil)
* William of Rhuddlan (son of Robert)
* Hugh of Moulins
* Walter of Everci
* Geoffrey, archdeacon of Hereford
* Thomas FitzStephen FitzAirard (captain)
* Geoffrey de l'Aigle
* Engenulf de l'Aigle
* Ralph le Roux, Lord of Pont Echanfre (many believe him to be an illegitimate son of Robert de Lacy)
* Gilbert de l'Aigle, Vicomte of Exmes
* Dietrich (Theodoric), the nephew of the German emperor (probably a son of Henry V.'s sister Agnes by Frederic Duke of Suabia)
* Gisulf, the King's secretary
* William - Son of the Bishop of Coutances
* Richard Anskill - Son and heir of a Berkshire landowner
* William Pirou - Steward to the king
* Robert Mauconduit - Nobleman

thread_title:  Passenger List 

message: I am reverting this edit Revision as of 18:30, 5 March 2021 by user:Jardeheu which changed the date of the sinking from 25th to 24th November 1119.
I am worried that is righting a great wrong because the edit which changes the date added "(and not 25 November 1120, as widely mentioned)." To support the change  user:Jardeheu uses as an unreliable source that analyses a primary source: http://closducotentin.over-blog.fr/2020/11/essai-d-enquete-nautique-sur-le-naufrage-de-la-blanche-nef-a-barfleur-au-xiie-siecle.html

And while Mason does not categorically state the sinking took place on 25th he makes it clear that it happened no earlier than the 25th:
So I think that as Wikipedia is a follower and not a place for publishing original research, if the date of the sinking is to be changed it must be done by citing 21st century reliable secondary sources. -- PBS (talk) 15:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

message: So, the passage
How is this known? There was only one survivor and he was pretty busy clinging to a rock. And it was night. That's not even counting the details like the voice was the guy's half sister. Theres's more, like the captain drowning himself etc. I can't read the sources, but my presumption is that they can't be reliable for these facts. 
We ought to say "according to legend, first written down in year X, such and such happened..." or something. Unless I'm missing something. Herostratus (talk) 02:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
