You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

__NOTOC__
'''''British Peer''''' was a 1428-ton three-masted iron [[sailing ship]] built for the British Shipowners Company at the [[Harland and Wolff]] yards in [[Belfast]], Ireland, in 1865. She was ((convert|247.5|ft|m)) long, ((convert|36.4|ft|m)) wide and ((convert|22.5|ft|m)) deep. She was bought by the [[Nourse Line]] in 1883, and was the fastest vessel in their fleet until ''British Ambassador'' was commissioned.<ref>((cite book|year=1984|publisher=Naval Institute Press|title=Merchant Sailing Ships, 1850-1875: Heyday of Sail|isbn=0-87021-951-0|author=Macgregor, David Roy|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/merchantsailings00macg))</ref> In 1878, however, ''British Peer''(('))s sailing power was compromised when alterations were made to increase her tonnage by lengthening her hull by ((convert|32|ft|m)), and she was never as fast again. She carried a crew of 23, including her master.

On 13 March 1891, during the [[Great Blizzard of 1891]], ''British Peer'' struck the 1222-ton steamer ''Roxburgh Castle'', causing ''Roxburgh Castle'' to sink with the loss of 22 lives; there were two survivors.<ref>((cite book|year=1891|publisher=Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co|title=The Blizzard in the West|url=https://archive.org/details/blizzardinwestbe00londiala))</ref>

''British Peer'', like other Nourse Line ships, was involved in the [[indentured labour]] trade. On 23 April 1892, she carried 527 Indian indentured labourers to [[Fiji]]. Two months later, on 11 June 1892, she arrived in [[Suriname]] with Indian indentured labourers. She also repatriated in September 1894 from [[Saint Lucia]] to India 450 Indians who had completed their indenture.<ref>Cheddie, Richard B. (27 August 2000). [http://genforum.genealogy.com/grenada/messages/60.html "Updated List of Ships that transported E"]. GenForum.</ref>

''British Peer'' had first visited South Africa in 1886, while on a voyage carrying indentured labourers. In November 1894, she again stopped in at the [[Cape of Good Hope]], carrying a cargo of salt and 471 Indian indentured labourers. On 8 December 1896, she struck a reef in [[Saldanha Bay]], South Africa, and was destroyed; there were only four survivors. A Court of Enquiry, held on 7 January 1897, found that "the loss of the ship was occasioned by reckless navigation on the part of the master".<ref>[http://www.route27sa.com/dunegrave.html "The Grave in the Dunes"]. Route 27 West Coast South Africa. Retrieved 12 May 2013.</ref> The wreck of ''British Peer'' itself still lies in about ((convert|9|m|ft)) of water in Saldanha Bay.
