A fact from Keying (ship) appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 19 April 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:
|
What happened next to the Keying? Did it sink or otherwise disappear?
Two points:
1. The following text, taken from: 'Sea Quest' by Charles A. Borden. Philadelphia: McRae Smith Co., 1967, shows the performance of the Keying in a bit less bright light. I going to slightly revise the text in that sense.
2. From Feb 17, 1848 (leap year) to March 15 are 27 days voyage in my book.

The article incorrectly states that sailing time of 21 days was a fast time for steam packet ship. That statement should be for a sailing packet ship. The Cunard Line was averaging 11 days from America (Halifax) to Liverpool ( http://wapedia.mobi/en/Cunard_Line), much faster than the Keying's time. The average sailing time of a sailing packet ship was around 23 days from New York to Liverpool, and as short as 17 days ( http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924020891416/cu31924020891416_djvu.txt). Keying's time was just slightly less than average, not particularly fast. Dale Bart, USA—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.51.147.97 ( talk) 00:36, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
The treatment in East Sails West: The Voyage of the Keying, 1846–1855 seems much better and more thorough than what we've got up now. — LlywelynII 12:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
