Talk:SS Kaliyuga

Name
I've seen some articles reference this ship as "Caliyuga". See some of the articles in http://images.maritimehistoryofthegreatlakes.ca/56698/data, for instance. Should we recognize the alternate spelling of the ship's name? Djshaw87 (talk) 19:42, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Additional info.
Some useful information that one might want to include can be found here: http://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?160721

For example: This site has a few old photos; you might be able to make a case for 'fair use' (you should probably consult somebody first)
 * power: 	750  i.h.p. (indicated horsepower)
 * engine: 	28 + 54" cylinders by 45" stroke fore & aft compound engine, 2 boilers, single shaft, 1 screw
 * engine by: 	Samuel F. Hodge & Co, Detroit

I haven't checked, but you might be able to find a map showing wreck location, assuming it is known.


 * Message found on body of Charles Beaugrand (washed ashore):
 * "Dear Father: Good-bye. I have a bank book in the Cleveland Society of Savings. Good-bye mother, dear sister and brother. A kiss for all."
 * ref. used : 	News Palladium Benton Harbor Michigan; dateline: Detroit, Oct. 31.

This article seems to be off to a good start! ~Eric F 184.76.225.106 (talk) 04:11, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Minor edits
Recommend: change "two schools of thought" to "two theories", and change "First...", "Second..." to "First theory...", "Second theory..." (See definition)
 * clarified fate of crew in infobox -- removed all, added (1 absentee)
 * Removed 2 instances of "that" -- unnecessary, and sounded awkward.
 * Changed "now" to "then" -- tense consistency.
 * I made some minor changes to the last paragraph in the 'Sinking' section (Second,...) -- I believe I preserved the meaning, while adding clarity.
 * Changed "word" to "term" (in 'History', relating to Kali Yuga) -- As written here, it is two words.

Dead link
There is a dead link to L.C. Waldo -- unless you intend to add a page for that, the link should be removed. ~Eric F 184.76.225.106 (talk) 06:10, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Not at this time, but the L.C Waldo is one of those ships that happens to be loosely connected to several shipwreck stories (The Kaliyuga is not the only ship that the Waldo was the last to see) on the great lakes, and it ran aground during the great storm of 1913. So I'd like to leave it in for now TomLuTon (talk) 00:53, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Excellent first article
Couple of minor grammatical points which you may disagree with: Congratulations on a well-presented article. Best Wishes ' Ankh '. Morpork  23:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * that sank with the loss of 16 lives on Lake Huron - I prefer, "that sank on Lake Huron with the loss of 16 lives"
 * the Kaliyuga was forced to try to ride out the storm
 * "due to a storm" - because of a storm, see explanation
 * Based on the locations of the bodies and the wreckage, there are two schools of thought as to the fate of the Kaliyuga - I prefer, "there are two schools of thought as to the fate of the Kaliyuga based on the locations of the bodies and the wreckage
 * to reach shelter in Georgian Bay
 * Have a look at MOS:TIME and amend accordingly
