I have created the article title, "Red, White and Blue", exactly as the ship name appears consistently in the original newspaper articles and documents of 1866 and 1867, with the comma and the lower-case "and". We don't have any images of the ship name as inscribed on the stern. otherwise we might have been able to use that as a source. Storye book ( talk) 15:40, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
I have created the article using British English because there are so many quotations from British sources. Although the subject is an American ship, I was concerned that if we had a main text with American spellings, with all those British-English quotations, the style would appear inconsistent and confusing. However if a large number of American quotations are added in future then perhaps that situation could change. Meanwhile, if anyone is unhappy about this, please discuss it here before changing the spellings in the article, so that a consensus can be found. Thank you.

The text describes her as a barque, but the illustrations clearly show two yards on the mizzen(aft) mast. A sailing ship with square rig on all three masts is ship-rigged. She was a ship. Dean1954 ( talk) 19:29, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
