Is it possible to take a look at
Draft:Theben for me? Came across it through
WP:AfC but figured someone here could narrow down notability much quicker than I can. You can ping me here or on the draft page if necessary. Cheers!

CNMall41 - I think that there will be some useful content from her time in the South American trade. For example, when the British Government contracted in 1880 with Kosmos to provide the first steam mail service to the Falklands, Theben was a mainstay, also carrying passengers (including the Governor). There is a useful bibliography on Kosmos in the deWP article on
Kosmos, including an English book on the Falkland contract, which I can access. -

CNMall41 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? -

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 (

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. -

Were the Japanese using gas turbines on warships in 1943? I suspect not but there's no source and I'm not sure what to do here. Please comment at
Talk:Type D escort ship#Turbine engines.

There's a further problem in that Turbine engine redirects to Gas Turbine resulting in ships like Japanese cruiser Mogami (1908) linking there erroneously

Turned out to be fewer bad links than I thought and hopefully I have resolved all of them
