When do you expect to have the time? I can keep this open for a while if you'll be able to work on it in a week or so, but don't wish to do so indefinitely. If you don't expect to be able to rework the article in the near future, I can close it now and then you can relist it once you've revised it.

Lancaster's role as captain is not mentioned in the first para of the East India Company section. The caption doesn't count since it's not cited.

Why are you citing every sentence in the Raiding the Spanish Main section, but don't do the same thing in the East India Company section?

If you want me to do this, ping me whenever you've renominated it and I'll review it again as soon as I can.
