Talk:MV Summit Venture

Missing heading text
What is the proper ship prefix for this ship? The title of the article is SS Summit Venture but the article refers to it as the MV Summit Venture. --Metropolitan90 03:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

SS is used exclusively for steamships. MV stands for 'Motor Vessel' and is used for diesel-powered ships of which the Summit Venture is. The correct designation, therefore, is MV (or M/V) Summit Venture. Waterman65 02:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Does a source exist to confirm this is the same vessel as the MV KS Harmony as stated in the article? If it's the same ship, then the article should be renamed to that, and the current material listed in the article for the history of the ship. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Length
If as the article says the SV was 579.8 feet long, why does the mayday caller aboard the SV report it as 606 feet long? commons:TimedText:MV_Summit_Venture_Mayday_Call.flac.en.srt Arlo James Barnes 22:02, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * That could be because there are several ways to measure the length of watercraft. Length at waterline is different from length overall, for example. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:41, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Sunshine Skyway Collapse
Make a separate page dedicated solely to the Sunshine Skyway Collapse. 2607:FEA8:10C3:DA00:D065:97DD:9192:DCAC (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

One-trick pony?
This article, ostensibly about the ship, contains just a few sentences that aren't about the Sunshine Skyway collision. There's nothing about her career between construction and the collision, and the three decades afterward only account for a paragraph.

In addition, while the Corpus Christi pic's caption says it was taken in 2008, the ship's homeport and flag are both Liberian, which the text suggests was no longer the case by that year. The name is also the original, casting considerable doubt on the date. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:31, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
