Talk:John Faunce Leavitt

Looking for any photo relating to John F. Leavitt

John F. Leavitt was a prolific maritime author and writer. If anyone has a photo of one of his book jackets, canvases, or especially a photo of the artist and curator himself, that would be fabulous. Many thanks in advance. MarmadukePercy (talk) 08:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

The article as it is now, is confusing because it lumps together two entirely different entities. There was the person, John F. Leavitt, writer, painter, and curator. Then there was also the schooner that was named after him, and sank under questionable circumstances. Mr. Leavitt did not really have any significant link with the schooner. Thus I believe that the portion of this story relating to the schooner should be a subsection, and not blended, since this will be confusing to anyone not familiar with the history.Bluepadma (talk) 00:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC) I respectfully disagree. To say that the schooner named after John F. Leavitt did not have "any significant link with him" seems to stretch things, because the boat was, after all, named for Leavitt, and in the media at the time it was the only familiarity that most people had with him. It was necessary in writing about Leavitt, therefore, to mention the vessel "John F. Leavitt." But the focus of the piece should be, and is, in my opinion, on Leavitt himself. If you wish to create an article about the ship, or about its builder Ackerman, I think you should do just that. Regards, MarmadukePercy (talk) 00:30, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
