Date of sinking

[edit]

Both this article and USS Jeannette (1878) cite the same source for when the ship sank, but whereas this article says it was the evening of June 12, the ship article says it happened on the morning of June 13. howcheng {chat} 03:00, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling, Schuetze or Scheutze?

[edit]

The two alternate spellings -- 'eu' or 'ue' -- are each deeply entrenched. I addressed it some in Jeannette_expedition#Aftermath (so searches for either spelling would succeed among other motivations). It's not a final solution. The Smithsonian source cited in Aftermath uses 'eu' and the statue placed by his classmate uses 'eu'. The Blackburn source in Aftermath uses 'ue' in its title and for now I'm taking that as definitive; I haven't accessed that registration-required Proquest source to check the actual document. There was a non-sourced statement in the sculpture article about the misspelling; I've added the Blackburn source there to back the statement. Chester A. Arthur's Second State of the Union Address, now also linked to in Aftermath, uses 'eu' but in that case it's a Wikisource transcription so I'm going to put a link-here inquiry in Talk there to see if there's a way to check underlying source(s). I stumbled into this tangle via a different sculpture in the same park; way more than I bargained for; any help or advice welcome. Swliv (talk) 22:03, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Radio show

[edit]

Orsen Welles made a related radio show, ‘hell on ice.’ Very good. 73.249.178.73 (talk) 13:09, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
