The article is new, long enough, and within policy. The suggested hook is nicely worded, as it sounds like the São José Paquete Africa was discovered prior to the DWP dive, but the wreck was misidentified. As such, "helped identify and document" is solid. 170 characters is a good length, and it's interesting. The refs also check out. @AngryHarpy: The only thing that is needed is the QPQ.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 01:14, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gen. Quon, I was under the impression that since this is my first ever contribution to DYK, I would still be exempt from that rule per If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ. Nevertheless, I've now come through with my own review at Template:Did you know nominations/Charlie Aust. AngryHarpy‍^talk 09:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AngryHarpy: Sorry for my inexperience here! You are correct, although kudos for reviewing one anyway. I'd say this is good to go.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 23:35, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
