  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the hook fact in the article. I see that two other semi-whalebacks were built, but not that they were the only three ever built. Yoninah (talk) 19:01, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Hi, thanks for notifying me. I have modified a sentence to fit the hook. GreatLakesShips (talk) 19:10, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: There are multiple sources. The one included here is one of them. It is in section 7, page 5. These sources:[1][2][3], verify that there were differences between the ships (I don't know whether or not that is important for the DYK). GreatLakesShips (talk) 19:24, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Now I see it, thanks. Restoring tick per Moonraker's review. Yoninah (talk) 19:28, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
