Please be polite and assume good faith, there is no need to write "Mr. Norton, are you insane? can't you read?" -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 02:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Yes, there is a strong reason. The railroad you linked to was built decades after the death of this man, and the steamer was a Russian ship decades later too, not the one that sank in 1838. You link to articles without checking the facts. So, answer the question. Are you, or are you not, insane? Kraxler ( talk) 12:43, 13 October 2012 (UTC) reply
