 * Link freighter in the first sentence of the lead to cargo ship, as that appears to be our article about freighters.
 * Also link port and starboard, as those won't be familiar to readers not particularly knowledgeable about ships.
 * I don't think its necessary to bold the ship's name in the design and construction section
 * "Russia (Official number 110063) was built in 1872 in Buffalo, New York" - Which registry was this with?
 * Link sister ships
 * " She received her first enrollment in Buffalo on August 26, 1872" - Can it be briefly explained or linked as to what enrollment means in this context?
 * Be consistent with if you use a comma for numbers in the thousands or not. For instance, 69,000 vs 3000
 * "February 1, 1874, Russia was damaged by freshet in Buffalo" - Source says that it was her propeller that was damaged, so I think you should add that detail to the article.
 * "where she unloaded her coal" - How about "where her coal was unloaded", as the current phrasing implies that Russia unloaded her own coal.
 * " barrels of various dry goods and rumored 1909 motorcycles destined for Duluth, Minnesota" - I think motorcycles are well known enough they don't need to be linked per MOS:OVERLINK, and I think the link on 1909 can be dropped as that list is too vague to really help the reader out much
 * "The same day Russia sank on Lake Huron, the bulk carrier Aurania sank on Lake Superior" - Unless there's a connection between the two sinkings, such as being caused by the same storm, I'm not sure if this is a relevant detail.
 * We need a publisher for the Brand source
 * I did some spot checks which were fine, and the sources look okay for GA.
 * Images all appear to be free and have valid sources (not a licensing expert)

I think that's it. Good work on this one, placing on hold. I did some minor copy editing, feel free to revert it if you don't like it. Hog Farm Talk 04:13, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have changed to "(US official number 110063)". None of the sister ships have articles. I plan to write an article for the sister ships, not the others. On the Great Lakes, using "propeller" in this context refers to a propeller driven ship.

Other that the ones I have mentioned, everything is done. GreatLakesShips (talk) 08:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
