Possible Inaccuracy as to name of Surcouf's ships

As a native to St. Malo I do believe one of his ships was called Le Renard could be mistake or omitted info. Will correct.

It is mentioned in the article . Rama 07:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
There's no verb here: "In 1812, Surcouf his last ship, the Renard ("Fox"), a 14-gun cutter." I'd fix it but I don't know if thats the date he scuttled or took command of his last vessel. 173.26.188.104 (talk) 13:30, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Surcouf at school

Can we please have a source for the assertion that Surcouf was educated by the Jesuits ? My sources state he was educated at what is now Collège Roger Vercel, in Dinan. This was never a Jesuit establishment. Boulet rouge (talk) 21:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Capture and then what?

The article states Surcoouf was captured by a British vessel. The very next sentence, however, seems to assume he's free. Thus the clarify tag.

How was he captured? How did he get free? What happened here? CapnZapp (talk) 18:18, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
