Inconsistency in date of "Out of Service"

I've noticed that the "Out of Service" date is inconsistent. The year is cited as "1891" in the Infobox and as "1892" in the article text. As I was unable to find evidence on which is correct, it'd be appreciated if anyone can help with this issue. Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 11:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is wrong in the infobox, I fixed it, thanks for the catch! ++Lar: t/c 22:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
