- I moved the nominator's comment to the correct spot and added the word "from" to ALT1. Bruxton (talk) 18:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- ALT0 does not work. The sources are not clear on "owner was never found". The Washington Post article states "An approximately 30-foot sailboat, named Paws, had washed up to the shore just below the park and tilted on its right side.... its owner appeared nowhere in sight." I imagine the owner was later tracked down. in any event ALT1 is mildly interesting. Bruxton (talk) 18:29, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
