A horrifyingly short but totally complete ship article? A Napoleonic editor can only dream! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 18:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • No duplicated links
  • No edit wars
  • No images to check. Suggest adding File:Gun-boat-fanny.jpg which does include Junaluska, though which one she is I don't know
  • Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

[edit]
  • Suggest adding CSS prefix to Younalaska unless you're specifically referring to her possibly serving under that name before her military service
    • Silverstone seems to indicate that this is a civilian name
  • Ship country is missing from infobox

Service history

[edit]
  • "made a trip to Fort Hatteras" no reason why?
    • It's unclear from Oxford. Oxford mentions the commander of the vessel being worried that something had happened to another vessel after they arrived at Fort Hatteras, but it's not clear if that's the reason why they went or if the state of things after arriving caused the worry
  • "Junaluska participated in a naval expedition"
  • Ref. #12 has Junaluska under the command of a "Captain Slacum"? The source also provides some more precise dates for the Chicamacomico expedition and would allow you to connect up why the ship had been ferrying the 3rd Georgia earlier on, etc
  • "After the action against Fanny" little confusing to have this here when chronologically we've already gone past Fanny

References

[edit]
  • this source says that Junaluska was serving in the Mosquito Fleet/North Carolina Squadron under, I think, this William F. Lynch? Also matches up with the unit details given in Ref. #12.
  • this source, which I can't access, describes Junaluska specifically as a canal tug and looks to go into a little detail as to what made her such a useless warship
  • Adding to the first point here, this source notes that after the capture of Fanny, Junaluska did not stay with the squadron
  • References look good. AGF on print source.
