Talk:SS City of Everett

Started
Just started the page (per User: Akradecki]'s suggestion that I act rather than complain :) so I could link it on my desktop; be back later with some actual info. Eaglizard 13:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

More about the Wetmore, really
but maybe some help? http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.historylink.org/db_images/Snohomish_Whaleback01_1892.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm%3Ffile_id%3D7362&h=216&w=260&sz=12&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=2IS1lByZ7PiccM:&tbnh=93&tbnw=112&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2B%2522City%2Bof%2BEverett%2522%2Bwhaleback%2B%26as_st%3Dy%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG

Google Image search came up "dry" for a pic of this ship, unfortunately. ++Lar: t/c 17:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * er, sorry about that pun! Try this site: http://visseraa.piranho.de/International/id614.htm ... it has an image. I'm not sure that's really her or not but it does seem to be a tanker and certainly is a whaleback. LMK if you need help putting that pic on Commons. It's pretty clearly PD... Note also in the ownership history the tie in to Standard Oil. Rockefeller was an investor in AS, and the last whaleback was the Frank D. Rockefeller... Her hull number, 145, fits with the ASB hull numbering sequence, as it would have been 001 if PSB had started afresh. ++Lar: t/c 17:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * To clarify the Hull Number bit. See ASB record page. Their hulls start at 101 and seem to go up to about 140 or so. If the PSB yard was a failure, did they first produce 144 other designs before building the City of E? Probably not. This is all idle speculation, impossible to cite. But interesting ++Lar: t/c 20:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
