Talk:Minion Island

Battle of San Juan de Ulua
I was reading up on the history of Francis Drake and I noticed this article: Battle of San Juan de Ulúa (1568) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It talks about how the English and Spanish fleet fought each other, and the English force had three certain ships, Jesus of Lubeck lead by John Hawkins, the Minion led by John Hampton, and a barque with Drake himself containing Angel and Swallow.

Considering that X Drake was on the Minion island on that incident, would the names of these three islands be an interesting tidbit or just coincidence?

This can be added to the trivia section. 09:26, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

Too speculative. SeaTerror (talk) 19:56, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

Definitely worth mentioning. All three island names can't be a coincidence. 20:36, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

^^ The islands having all the three names? Can't be a coincidence at all. 21:46, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

They don't. One is Rubeck and the other is Lubeck. We already know Oda can spell a name with an L if he wants to. SeaTerror (talk) 21:59, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

There are more ships than the 3 islands, it seems interesting to me, but I'm not sure if it's article-worthy yet. 22:41, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

Where did it say Drake was on Minion Island? 05:57, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

Some guy in the Barrels Pirates named "Dory" escaped from the first Birdcage that covered Minion Island. That's definitely X Drake.

Any more opinions on this so that we may close this? I still think it's a bit too speculative due to the fact that there are a lot more names involved than the 3 islands and Drake. Such as the british commander John Hawkins, of which Basil Hawkins is partially named for (SBS Volume 52), and Basil Hawkins has nothing to do with this flashback. 17:51, June 27, 2015 (UTC)

I feel like this is indeed trivia-worthy. Even if it wasn't the original info the names of those islands are based on, it's a nice little coincidence worth noting imo. 22:32, June 27, 2015 (UTC)

I have to agree. Intended or not (and it totally was), it's still note-worthy. 02:09, July 4, 2015 (UTC)

Can we close it and add the trivia now that we have a clear majority in favor for the trivia? 02:28, July 4, 2015 (UTC)
