Talk:Gunilda

Congratulations
I am a direct descendant of the owners of Cox & King who designed Gunilda. You kindly referenced their catalogue which I bought in the US a few years ago and created a webpage for it https://www.francoisgrosjean.ch/cox_and_king/catalogue.html

It's a real pleasure to see this new entry and I wish to congratulate the author(s).

When Wendy Schnur and I did a thorough search and listing of the Cox & King vessels (see here: https://www.francoisgrosjean.ch/cox_and_king/vessels.html), we presented the owners in this order: J. Sladen, F. Sykes (England) & W. Harkness (NY).

Note that Becken of Cowes has a lovely photo of Gunilda taken in 1897, a copy of which I had to buy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.125.195.142 (talk) 21:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)


 * thank you so much for the information! Do you happen to know how I can find this image of Gunilda? GreatLakesShips (talk) 21:25, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Beken of Cowes
Here is their contact page: https://www.beken.co.uk/contact/ Note that Gunilda is not in their gallery but they do have the 1897 photo and it is quite lovely. Good luck to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.125.195.142 (talk) 21:39, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

"King" Hague
The second para under Gunilda today mentions the death of Charles "King" Hague in 1970 - but the second para under Salvage attempts mentions Jack "King" Hague. Maybe his name was Jack Charles Hague (or Charles Jack Hague) and his nickname was King - but either way it would be helpful of his name was consistent.

 * Corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. GreatLakesShips (talk) 15:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

GNL
CaptainAngus, the outcome of the discussion we had regarding the use of the word "manned" ended with the decision to keep it in the article. I have not changed my mind, and MOS:GNL doesn't outlaw the use of the word, except when applied to space programs. Please stop trying to force your obsession with gender neutral language onto this article. GreatLakesShips 🤘 (talk - contribs) 18:51, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Two things:
 * Apologize for the duplicative edit, I didn't remember the past edit or the discussion, I just came across this page again.
 * It's a bit much to suggest a good-faith edit is me 'forcing' my 'obsession'. We don't need to rehash the past discussion, but attempting to update the statement in a more general way is hardly a display of force. Wikipedia:GF
