Talk:SS Arctic

SS Vesta

Strangely enough the page SS Vesta has been deleted and redirected here, because no information was found about it. The SS Artic collided with another boat, there should be a page about it whatever the name was.

There is easily sufficient info on Vesta to create a stub, which I will do as soon as I'm done with the disaster article. Brianboulton (talk) 20:45, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Stub now created. Brianboulton (talk) 22:16, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article upgrade

I have improved the article based on reliable literature relating to the Arctic. My main project is a detailed account and analysis of the sinking, and a link to this subarticle will be added shortly. Brianboulton (talk) 08:42, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Muted encouragement. Please do not get carried away. This is meant as an encyclopedia article, not a book chapter, and no original research. Choor monster (talk) 14:39, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Brian has dozens of featured articles and is quite familiar with every aspect of article creation. Kablammo (talk) 20:21, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tonnage

The tonnage figure given in the Shaw book almost certainly is tons burthen as calculated in the US, as that was the method of measuring tonnage, which is not a measure of mass. Kablammo (talk) 20:21, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shaw does not mention tons burthen, but he does say "2,856 tons by American custom house measurement". I have altered the links in this and in the article on the disaster. Thanks for pointing this out. Brianboulton (talk) 20:43, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
