 * Symbol question.svg I can see some minor issues in the article: for example, the expedition is not linked in the lede (this is optional of course as the expedition doesn't have its own article and is linked in Byrd's article, which is linked in the lede). Another is that the phrase "(For details read Byrd's First Antarctic expedition (1928–1930)" is missing a closing parenthesis, though as the phrase seems awkwardly written and out of place compared to the rest of the article, it could instead be removed and replaced with a "See Also" template. Full review to follow soon. Courtesy ping to creators . Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:10, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's the first DYK nom for the main author, - your patience is appreciated ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:34, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reviewing. Both and I have since edited the article, and the section mention of Byrd's first expedition is now included as a Further, would that work for the reader? I am adding below an ALT1 with another photo, cf. the article talk page. Thanks go to  for her friendly help. Sam Sailor 06:39, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

ALT1:... that the barque City of New York (pictured) was Richard E. Byrd's flagship on his first Antarctic expedition?
 * Thank you, I bolded the subject, shortened the clause, and dropped the years, to be more concise. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:08, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was barely just new enough to meet the newness requirements (moved to mainspace on June 1, nominated June 8). The article is adequately sourced, including the hooks. The images are appropriately licensed, although if the second image will be used in an image hook, I would suggest that it be added to the main article. No copyright violations or close paraphrasing was detected. Gerda has provided a QPQ. Both hooks are good to go, but ALT1 is snappier and appears to be the nominator's preference.
