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. --

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. --

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.
