Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Some assistance in verifying the hook for the reviewer:
that the steamer was the largest and fastest on the Maine coast - sourced at the end of the
Construction and design section in the Daniel Webster article.
that the engine was built by the West Street Foundry - same section as above, third paragraph.
that Wilson Small owned the foundry - either the Wilson Small or Foundry articles, should be easy to find.
