Lady Elgin's namesake

The last line in the article says that the Lady Elgin was named after a town in Oregon but there is no citation given for this statement. The Lady Elgin was actually named after the wife of Lord Elgin, Canada's Governor-General from 1847 - 1854. See the citation added to the article. --Wpwatchdog (talk) 00:59, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the statement in question. It was probably just juvenile level vandalism.Shinerunner (talk) 12:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It sure didn't make sense in the article. Thank you. --Wpwatchdog (talk) 13:36, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for lead

According to WP:LEADCITE, redundant citations in the lead are balanced by the need to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material. I added the citation to the lead that is already in the article per Sift&Winnow's recommendation. --Wpwatchdog (talk) 23:10, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Samson?

"Augusta was sailing using only a single white light, mounted on a five-foot Samson on the bow". What is a Samson in this context? Could it be an error for sponson? Tigerboy1966 11:02, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coincidence?

So is it truly a mere coincidence that the PS Lady Elgin was hit by another ship (which abandoned the Lady Elgin) and that the Lady Elgin sinking was also allegedly tied to the balance change from "Irish" to "German" political power in Milwaukee? Is it coincidence or was it possible political espionage? Just a connection I thought of while doing research. RaptorGirl97 (talk) 14:16, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
