Coodinates?

What are the coordinates of the wreck site? --Ragemanchoo82 (talk) 05:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Canadian or British

It was British, but was lost in the war belonging to one of Canada's largest companies. Should it be Canada / British? Since Canada is recognized for its contributions independently of Britain in WWI (Vimy Ridge, Somme, etc.) it seems this loss belongs to Canada's Merchant Marine. Anyone disagree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Varaldarade (talk • contribs) 02:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

grammar

She was first ships that responded to the distress signals of the RMS Titanic in 1912.

I thing think this should be either "She was the first ship" or "She was among the first ships"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.167.14 (talk) 12:13, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Ship was never Canadian

Even at the time of her loss she was still sailing under British flag and had a registry in Liverpool. It was never sold to Canada (as in Canadian government), it was sold to CPR, a private company, with 13 other ships. If noone opposes I will remove the Canadian registry from the infobox.

@Crook1: It had said "United States", with a US flag for almost 4 years, nobody says anything. It's corrected to Canada, as CPR is a Canadian company, and 4 minutes later people complain... - wolf 18:52, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: I was not here until last year. But the fact remains the ship was always sailing under UK flag and has nothing really to do with Canada. CPR is a Canadian company, but registered all their ships in Britain, so the ship is really British.Crook1 (talk) 19:01, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

@Crook1: Nothing against you, I just thought the timing was odd. Anyway, do you have a source for the registry and flagging after the sale to CPR? - wolf 19:11, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: I just added the page to the watchlist recently as I wanted to update it. LLoyd's from 1904 and up lists her as British with a port of registry in Liverpool.Crook1 (talk) 19:17, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

@Crook1: If you can add that source to any changes you make, it's fine by me. On another note, I just took a look at the first dozen or so ships at List of ships of CP Ships, and there appears to be some inconsistencies with the countries and flags used in the infoboxes. You might want to check that out if you're updating/correcting these ship articles. (fyi) Have a nice day - wolf 19:37, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: Most of these ships listed are RMS vessels so their government flag would be correct since they carried mail for the UK government. Didn't see any other problems. The list is obviously incomplete.Crook1 (talk) 20:13, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

I just came across the list looking for this ship (which didnt seem to be on it). Just thought I'd point it out, as it seemed to fit your interests. I usually do more naval than civilian, so I"ll leave you to it. - wolf 20:20, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
