There is also an NY Times obit & another obit in the article history. A had to remove them because copying them wholesale was a copyright violation, but they are useful as sources. -- ThaddeusB ( talk) 23:44, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
A couple of points. (1) NYT obit says Ike built over 100 Stars, however an analysis by David Bolles, the Star Class historian, of the published registries in the Star Logs shows 73 Ike Smith built boats with another 8 built by Sands Point Boatyard.
(2) The keel and plaque in Port Washington is in a park on the shoreline - near - the location of Ike Smith's boatyard. I haven't located the exact spot where the boatyard was situated, but there are period photos taken at the exact spot where the keel is located and there are no buildings there at the time.
