Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- The quote in the "Final Voyage" section is far too long (cf. WP:LONGQUOTE). Either rephrase it or remove it.There are also a number of cases of close paraphrasing that need to be addressed. - Other problems:
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - cited yes but reliability of [1] is not clear. You might want to look for contemporary newspaper or book sources instead. The Wikipedia Library offers access to databases such as Newspapers.com which contains a lot of old newspapers.
- Interesting:
| Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px. |

| QPQ: None required. |
Overall: 
@GreatLakesShips: See comments above. Also,for the picture, [[:]] might actually be better (see on the right), combined with a hook that talks about the sinking. Please ping me if you have addressed those problems. Regards SoWhy 18:01, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
