Source data problem[edit]

DANFS at [1] has text for SP-182 which is actually text for SP-544. In addition the two photos shown on that page, do not seem to match, as one appears to be a 90' yacht, and the other -- of similar design with only one mast -- appears to be a 60' motorboat.

I'm not sure I understand completely what you're referring to. What are the actual danfs text articles describing? --Brad (talk) 18:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The DANFS article is entitled "USS Arcturus (SP-182), 1917-1919" but the text is related to "USS Sea Gull (SP-544)" which appears to be a mistake on DANFS's part. Also, when you look at the two photos DANFS provides (shown above), they do not seem to be the same ship, although of the same design. I'm sure that the ship that has "SP-182" on its bow is the Arcturus, which is why I chose that photo to insert into the ship infobox... Not a problem, just an observation...Wikited (talk) 19:58, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok; I think you picked the right photo from what I can see. The NHC is known for mistakes here and there. Feel free to email them to let them know. --Brad (talk) 23:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
