Why did it only sail once? What happened to it? Kdammers ( talk) 05:01, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

In the intro, it says "whereupon she was given as a present to Ptolemy II.[2]", but in the first paragraph of the main text, it says "where she was later given to Ptolemy (Ptolemaios) III Euergetes of Egypt..." Some book sources I've looked at suggest it was Ptolemy III, but I'm not 100% certain. 82.71.0.229 ( talk) 09:26, 8 February 2019 (UTC) I checked another source (Art in the Hellenistic Age By Jerome Jordan Pollitt p281) that seems to suggest it was one or other of the Ptolemies, but that which is unknown. 82.71.0.229 ( talk) 09:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
As with most things from antiquity, it's likely that it was lost to the sands of time, but do we know what happened to the ship? Even a short note to the effect of "it is unknown what happened to it after [period]..." would be nice to have in the article. Opencooper ( talk) 03:51, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
The image/design of the boat used for this artcile is the same as the one for caligulas giant ship ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caligula%27s_Giant_Ship ) the boat design cant be the same for both articles surely, i wonder which one is the "correct" image...
