The description of the coat of arms is confusing and incorrect. At the first the claim is the wrecked ship on the arms is that of the Edward Bonaventura. Yet, the description mentions an English sailor who was transferred by his captain from the Edward Bonaventura to a French ship. It is then this French ship that is allegedly wrecked at Bermuda in 1591. However, the blazon of arms states that the wrecked ship is the Sea Venture. Only one of these three things can be correct.

The ship referred to in the current article as the Edward Bonaventura may be the English ship Bonaventure (1567) which never sailed near Bermuda as far as I can tell.

It would seem that the ship is the Sea Venture which foundered and was wrecked on the Bermuda reefs in 1609. This article needs to be entirely rewritten and I am flagging it as such. --IACOBVS (talk) 18:36, 4 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
