Excerpt from ''project ships:
 * The headline picture at wrecksite might be by John Henry Mohrmann. I have a better copy, but no provenance. There's insufficient source info to enable uploading into commons. Do you have any backup knowledge of this painting? -Broichmore (talk) 13:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've been absent. I suppose that your better copy is this or that. The first is the site of a private museum at Terschelling (it would seem most unlikely that they would possess the actual painting, but the other is a serious book, and quite likely to give credits for the image, which is used on the front cover (and may well appear inside also). It might also appear in this more recent one. Davidships (talk) 22:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The museum has confirmed to me that the painting came from the aforementioned book by Reinhart Schmelzkopf (1938–2020), a Cuxhaven shipping historian. Can anyone access this book to identify the artist, etc. -Broichmore (talk) 07:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * This book used extensively in editing the deWP article on Kosmos.
 * Meanwhile, just to note that Howat's Falkland Islands Mails: the Kosmos Years has a postcard photo of Theben aground in the Magellan Straits. This is not the right Theben as it happened in July 1903 (ship built 1897 - she was refloated and repaired). - Davidships (talk) 11:37, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
