I am concerned that this article violates WP:N as the article references consist solely of ship lists, such as Lloyd's, Die deutschen Kriegsschiffe, and Miramar. While these articles are not an issue in itself as they contain useful data, they only mention the Hinrich Wilhelms alongside every other ship of the same type. This is fine for notable warships, however many of the Vorpostenboot lack articles and notability. It is also likely a Kriegsfischkutter, which has little English on the topic. Sources should discuss the boat for more than a few lines to justify an article.
The sources provide a decent amount of information, however it mainly relates to the bookkeeping side of the vessel, such as identification letters and name changes. This information is incredibly common, and does not justify an article in itself.
