Copyright Infirngement?
By the looks of it, most of this article is cut and pasted out of the Picton Castle website. If that was done by the Picton Castle staff, ok, except perhaps some wikipedia rules that may prevent commercial promotion. If it wasn't done by the Picton Castle staff, then this should be re-written to something involving less plagiarism. --24.141.70.171 05:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Questioned Neutrality of article's treatment of death of Laura Gainey
It seems strange that she is described as a "lead sailor" rather than a student sailor who had just recently joined the ship. It also seems strange that the article describes her as part of the "professional crew".

The article can hardly be thought of as neutral if it fails to mention the vessel being short-handed, having sailed late in the season and into stormy weather far from any safe shelter. Nor can the article be thought of as neutral if it fails to mention the lack of safety drills, lack of either advice or orders concerning foul weather gear and harnesses, the allegations of attempts to alter witness statements and delay the issuance of any report of the investigation.

Where is she homeported/owned?
The article is in the Canada and Great Lakes categories but I didn't notice any mention of where the ship belongs. Rmhermen (talk) 20:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It mentions that the ship's homeport is Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and that the ship is registered to the Cook Islands.108.211.34.225 (talk) 05:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Cook Islands
Why is the article steered towards the ship being in the Cook Islands when it is ported out of Nova Scotia? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:05, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
