Talk:SS President Taylor

These ships were never commonly known as the "522" type—very commonly the "502" type
Contemporary industry references use "502" Type, the "502s" or the 502-foot class through the 1930s. This was in contrast to their larger "sisters" the "535" Type, the "535s" or the 535-foot class. Just a few references:
 * McKellar: Steel Shipbuilding under the U. S. Shipping Board, 1917-1921, Part V, Contract Steel Ships
 * EFC Design 1095: Illustrations
 * Emergency Fleet Orders
 * Historical Dictionary of the U.S. Maritime Industry

About the only place the "522" confusion is mentioned appears to be the modern reference USSB 502/522 Class at GlobalSecurity.org from which some of the existing text appears to be lifted. The registered length, Lloyd's (President Taylor) for example, tended to be Length between perpendiculars and in the case of Lloyd's 502 ft. Palmeira (talk) 19:35, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Never fully salvaged
It seems that the wreck is still where the ship was beached. It is visible in aerial views on Bing Maps and Google Maps. Compare the location with File:Aerial view of Canton Island.jpg. Is this sufficient evidence to include this? Verbcatcher (talk) 19:32, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
