Article is new, long enough, well referenced; image is OK. I think hook ALT1 reads better. However, the article does not give a clean reference for the claim of the hook, namely that its trusses were indeed recovered from the Herald of the Morning. Is that in the O'Connor book? The Victorian Heritage Register entry is ambiguous. Either change the hook or add a ref. Thanks, AxelBoldt (talk) 19:40, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

It's in the other Victorian Heritage Register entry. I've added a footnote. Better now? --PFHLai (talk) 22:05, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

It is also referenced in the Heritage Victoria citation for the shipwreck - HERALD OF THE MORNING, VHR Number S330 "Cargo consisted of iron work for Hawthorne Bridge, subsequently sold at auction - became trusses for Mia Mia Bridge."Garyvines (talk) 00:01, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
