Talk:HMS Minden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Aboard or not?
Removed from the article:
- If the story that has for so long been told regarding the Minden and Scott Key is wrong then reference should be made to two letters from Keys daughter Elizabeth that state the opposite. The letters were written after Keys death and specifically mention the Minden as the ship her father was on. Key was with her until he died and staying at her home. There is much speculation and a lot of research that is current and shows otherwise. I ask you then why would Elizabeth mention the Minden? I suggest that despite what has been discovered that her statements in these letters is oral history and compelling evidence. One would think that the daughter of a then already famous man would have been told in detail the events of those days when the anthem was written. She states "the Minden was the ship my father was on". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matthead (talk • contribs) 18:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
