Was the article the actually part of the name of the ship, meaning, was it the Emma or The Emma as currently titled? — Bellhalla (talk) 10:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
No, you're quite correct, the ship name does appear to have been The Emma. Should we move the article, perhaps to Emma (ship)? Parrot of Doom (talk) 15:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
