I'm guessing John Gordon, the second admiral listed, was the captain the HMS America, but not other specifics are provided in the source; the diplomat is of interest because this was a reconnaissance mission concerning the status/value of the region in the Oregon Question. So it could haev een him also; the source only says that he was the brother of the Lord Aberdeen that was then Prime Minister; so it's one of these lads. Anyone have any idea who?Skookum1 (talk) 17:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see it's already been modified, but for the record, it was Hon. John Gordon. Choess (talk) 13:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
