Talk:Dalmat (yacht)

Namesakes
you might want to check again a couple of things regarding the ship's namesakes. I've never heard of Dalmat used as a synonym for Dalmatia. However, there were Dalmatae (Dalmati in Italian) which seem awfully similar. Dalmatae/Dalmati is a group noun though, I have no idea what would be the singular or if the ship was named after them. As the second point: Istranka certainly isn't Slovene for Istria (that would be Istra - you can check the interlanguage link at the Istria article to verify). On the other hand, Istranka is Croatian language demonym (feminine form) for a resident/native of Istria. I have no idea if it's the same in Slovenian or if the ship was named after the demonym though.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:05, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, I see the problem on Istranka. The source gives "a woman from Istria (Istranka)" I took the translation to be for the last word only, not the entire phrase.  I have to admit I assumed Dalmat was related to Dalmatia but haven't been able to source it, I'll remove that one - Dumelow (talk) 07:45, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've found that Dalmat is an alternative name for the Dalmatae tribe so added that - Dumelow (talk) 08:04, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Last surviving
The article currently says "in 1998 when she was reportedly the last surviving vessel of the Austro-Hungarian Navy". This is clearly dubious. See Yugoslav monitor Sava which is still afloat as museum on the Sava River at Belgrade. Perhaps "oldest surviving vessel"? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:18, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've removed it, the source says "currently for sale - apparently the only - real existing relic of the former AH Navy", which is a bit loose - Dumelow (talk) 07:52, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, probably best given the wording in the source. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:55, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
