SS Arrow

Hello. Ive noticed that during your rewrite and work on this article that you added a description of what bunker c oil is. I would think that would have been better served by leaving the wikilink intact, allowing the reader (if they were unsure what bunker c was) to simply click on the link for the information. Somewhere along the line, an erroneous reference was made that 2.5 million imperial gallons was spilled. With 4.55 litres to the imperial gallon, this resulting number (11 million litres) would actually be greater than the Arrow was originally loaded with. The previously cited information was approximately two-thirds of her cargo (some 667,000 litres) was spilled during the disaster, which would equal 146,593 gallons. I have removed the 2.5 million gallon reference for now. I think further work on the article would not go astray and I'll sit back for a bit and let you have a go at it if you wish. If you need assistance, I'll be more than happy to help. Regards,  Aloha27 talk  13:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
