Comment
I would upload a picture from the Liverpool Ships web site - but life is too short to bother with all the hoops that need to be negotiated.

Why is the 'Tyne built ships' link included? She was built in Belfast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.74.25 (talk) 13:58, 5 January 2017 (UTC) 'Ocean Monarch' may have been built on the Tyne.


 * I am not quite sure what this means. Regarding I would upload a picture from the Liverpool Ships web site - but life is too short to bother with all the hoops that need to be negotiated. - Do you mean uploading it as a fair-use image? I haven't been able to find anything about fair-use of photos for ships, but perhaps I missed something.


 * I updated the external link for the image.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 12:13, 6 January 2017 (UTC)


 * There's no reason why we can't use an image of the ship under fair use rules. Mjroots (talk) 21:26, 7 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Excellent.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 21:31, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I would have prefered a picture of her as the liner I travelled on (twice), rather than her last few years with Union Castle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.215.136 (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Missing section
The article needs a "description" section giving details of measurements, tonnages, machinery etc. Mjroots (talk) 21:28, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * There are some details in the infobox, based upon what I could find.


 * Out of curiousity, why would that need to be replicated in the body of the article? What would be a source of information where the details are missing?— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 21:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)


 * - take a look at RMS Magdalena (1948). That is what I mean.
 * Incidentally, RMS Magdalena was the third and final ship buit by Harland & "it was all right when it left us" Wolff to be lost on her maiden voyage.-- previously unsigned by Mjroots (talk)


 * , I understood what you meant. I was just wondering why a separate section is needed if it's in the inbox, no big deal, there's a reason I'm sure.


 * I put in the information that I am aware of, which is less than the Magdalena... I've got to read up about what "Wolff to be lost on her maiden voyage" means.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 22:35, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That was a little joke. H&W built three ships that were lost on their maiden voyage. Hence their motto could have been "It was all right when it left us..." Mjroots (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, that is funny!— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 23:02, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

She or it
Lloyd's of London sanctioned the use of the impersonal pronoun for ships some years ago, but speaking as a former seaman, the usage goes against the grain. What is more disturbing is the use of both she and it in one and the same article. I wonder if a consensus can be found? Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 16:42, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
