Great Lakes shipwrecks
Although i have little involvement with its development, I "watch" the List of shipwrecks article and saw your note added there. I am glad you spoke up there, and I think it is terrible, actually, that someone simply listed all the great lakes shipwrecks from one of your books. I myself am not entirely sure that listing them that way is kosher, but I assume it is probably okay and does not directly violate copyright? But, if they are listed as they are, your work should certainly be credited as the source. I started drafting an intro sentence or two to the section, with a footnote reference to your works. Please see that and comment further. It is best, probably, to discuss this at Talk:List of shipwrecks, so the discussion record stays with the article for other editors to see.

In the note i drafted, the 110 number my count of about 110 ships in the list in the article, is that the correct number of shipwrecks covered in your first volume?

Thanks for pointing out the omission of credit, and I hope we can work this out properly. doncram (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
