Captain Potter refused to receive the address of the people of Queenstown until the political passages were expunged. His wishes were complied with. He received the address of the Nationalists, with the name of Doran at the head of the list of signers, on the assurance that it contained nothing of a political nature, but it concluded with the words, "God save Ireland."

The Cork Yacht Club gave a luncheon to the Duke of Edinburgh on the 26th, at which Captain Potter was present. The officers of the frigate were also honoured on their visit to Dublin; an arch of flags, in which the stars and stripes predominated, was thrown across the street in front of the Mansion-House. Captain Potter was presented with the freedom of the city. ..." From - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/160133841?searchTerm=c...
