1.

• " Chesapeake and Ohio railroad" - My gut instinct is that Railroad should be capitalized and part of the link, as it's part of the name of the railway

•  Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:52, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• Sheboygan is a duplink

•  Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:55, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• " In 1879 she was made into a barge" - Comma after 1879

•  Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:57, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• "Her engines first went to Alaska and then later to Frank E. Kirby" - Is this after the barge conversion or after she was scrapped?

• The quote for ref 18 is unrelated to the statement it's supporting, it can likely be removed

•  Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:30, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• What's the provenance of carferries.com? It looks a touch like a personal website. I'm unfamiliar with it's history, is this an RS?

•  Done - removed. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:36, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• Ref 13 via newspapers.com

•  Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:41, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• For the long refs for the sources, spell out the acronyms, these acronyms aren't instantly identifiable with an organization for most readers.

•  Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:46, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• See if there's OCLCs for any of the refs, worldcat is super helpful. For the sources that are from periodicals, see if the periodical has an ISSN.

3.

• What's the etymology of the ship's name? I'm assuming maybe John Sherman, but if known, it should be included.

•  Done - researched and not known for sure. No reference for that.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:26, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• "The craft was then rebuilt in 1877 as a passenger steamer operating out of Detroit. In 1879 she was made into a barge and served that purpose until 1893" - You never explicitly state the fate of the vessel.
•  Done

Placing on hold, I'll give it another look through after these are addressed. Hog Farm (talk) 00:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Hog Farm: All issues have been addressed. Can you take another look. Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:26, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
