Article length and age (just passed GA today) are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. I have a slight preference for ALT1. --TheSandDoctor Talk 23:31, 24 April 2020 (UTC)- Comment I agree, ALT1 works better. Lettler (talk) 00:50, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. I don't understand why ALT1 works for you; it is completely out of context. Would you consider combining the two hooks in some way, like:- ALT2: ... that after lying on the seafloor for nearly 100 years, the schooner Alvin Clark (pictured) was noted as "the finest preserved historic vessel in the United States"?

- @Yoninah: I found ALT1 more interesting than alt0. However, do agree that alt2 is better. --TheSandDoctor Talk 03:08, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I agree as well. Thank you for the suggestion; it's my first DYK nomination. Lettlerhello 03:23, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
