 * Thanks for your efforts in clearing this up (I'm so glad I don't do snails!). I've got an (as yet unread) copy of the one likely source book (Queen of Whale Cay) and the few other useful print sources, so when I have time I'll try to get through this article and restore as much of the useful content as possible, without copyvio.

Jack Stripes
Marion Carstairs also spent considerable sums of money on building boats intended to make a fast cross Atlantic run. The last and fastest of these was "Jack Stripes".

Pronouns
Marion Barbara Carstairs chose to be called Joe. She wore men’s clothing specifically designed to diminish her bust. She would also walk about her island wearing a false mustache. It is possible that, were she alive today, she would identify as a transgender man. However, Joe referred to herself as a woman and so, for the purposes of this post and for the sake of not making an assumption, I have as well. https://blog.marinersmuseum.org/2020/09/not-your-average-joe/ Oathed (talk) 01:04, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
