Also found detailled ship list for Lewis Nixon's Crescent Shipyard which is free to use if attributed per the home page  This probably belongs in the Crescent shipyard article. LeadSongDog 05:26, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Lewis Nixon I?
I can't find a single source that says this was his name. Can you point me to one? Even if it is, WP:COMMONNAME says we should use the most commonly used name, and I don't see any evidence at all that this is the case. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:51, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I couldn't either. Adding "I" to a name generally doesn't happen until there is a "II" or a "III", so it's not the person's name (geneally speaking) during their lifetime.  Historians may adapt it in retrospect for the purposes of clarity, but that doesn't make it the person's name, per se.  I've moved the article back to Lewis Nixon (naval architect), please do not move it again without a consensus to do so at this page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:14, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
