 * Comment: It might be of common interest to read about a historic poet's ship during Nazi era. I would appreciate any correction of my English if necessary since I am no native speaker/writer. Thank you.

 * Symbol question.svg Long enough, recent enough as of the date of submission, no copyvios detected.
 * I don't see any text that matches hook 1. The text for hook 2 appears in several places but is not cited in the article as per DYK rules.
 * DYK rule of thumb is one inline citation per paragraph, but there are a number of paragraphs with no citations, including paragraphs with key information about the original name of the ship and the destruction of the vessel.
 * Much of the article is cited to http://luserke.net/. Is this a reputable source per WP:RS criteria or a personal fan website?
 * The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History (the only cited English-language source) calls Krake a tjalk, which it identifies as a "barge houseboat". Wikipedia says it's a type of Dutch barge.  None of these terms appear in your article, which calls it a sailing ship.  I don't know a thing about boats, but can you clarify this a bit in the article.  Or perhaps  can help with this matter.
 * Minor issues aside, I am impressed with the length of this article and the quality of its sourcing overall. Well done.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 23:02, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your review, Gamaliel. luserke.net is no fan site but a site of the Luserke family based in Cologne, Germany. It offers several literal transcripts from published German newspaper articles as well as transcripts of scientific lectures which are from printed publications I own. The newspapers itself don't have these articles online but they are in their archives. I have made contact to these newspapers and got copies of the articles as PDF files. The entry in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History is based on a German resource which is wrong. The ship's real type is already stated in the article's table (general characteristics) on the right. It's a Blazer, a Dutch flat-bottom-ship. This is already confirmed by two sources, one is a trustee of a historic ship's archive in Germany who is an expert for those flat-bottom-ships, the other is a descendant of the former Dutch ship owners. For this article I made contact with both. A Tjalk is larger than a Blazer and of slightly different construction. Luserke who owned the ship after 1934 registered his ship as a Tjalk and that's why this mistake is still in use. Dutch barge is a more general term for these ships which is widely known whereas a Blazer is a special Dutch construction which is not widely known. Wikipedia Netherlands does have an article about the Blazer and I just published a German article about the Blazer to make this information available.

 * , can you add citations to the paragraphs that have none? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. Wereldnieuws (talk) 05:09, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks ., does this address your concerns? ALT0 still doesn't appear to be entirely in the article, but ALT1 and ALT2 are there, and have inline citations. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:25, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Striking ALT0 (only half in the article, and uncited) and ALT2 (uninteresting), approving ALT1. Every paragraph is now cited, and I believe 's response above adequately addresses the concerns raised about luserke.net, and about the type of ship. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:31, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
