I have 8 misprints.

Are these letters correct?

E L I L C E W C

I have fourteen letters from extra words but nothing makes sense.
It starts RLE and ends CEH.

Any hints?

Those letters look good, Sunray. The ten letter name is very obscure, but is shared by a British Poet Laureate - minus one of his double barrels!

Thanks drxx - I had that vessel but thought that Schadenfreude had pointed me to an indirect anagram. Shameful on my part, the man was way too brilliant to resort to those sort of shabby tricks.

Sunray, for the other name think of a German Torch Singer.

I share your shame bobbycollins, because I'd also considered the partial capsize of a 4 letter vessel - luckily, I share your faith in Schadenfreude's brilliance too.

Thanks bobbycollins.
I am not much into Torch singers. But found the one who said:
"darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, i just know what to do with them."

The other name must have 5 letter first name.

Will try to find two more misprints.

Shame on me too and thanks to Schadenfreude for this lovely finale. A perfect level for me. I love it when the penny drops and things fit into place. I also love the suggestion that one might be admired for knowing the word in 36 - like it would be ‘normal’ to know all the others.

Cam anyone help me parse 17 and 38 across? Ta

17 The L isn't given.
Wordplay - 'remains' = IS ['on'=after] A N(avy) + TERN ('schooner') + (por)T

38 is a normal clue -
The 'singer' is a bird - SERIN, inside 'Pegs' = NOGS

Ta very much peeps
