City of Ragusa

- Comment: This article was created in userspace over some days, then transferred to mainspace on 11 September 2020. Note: There is much inaccurate information about this subject on the internet (e.g. modern unsubstantiated tales of drunkenness etc.; also much conflation of 19th century material which doesn't make sense). Even the 19th-century contemporary newspapers sometimes contradicted each other (e.g. Hayter was once described as an officer - although he was too young - and otherwise described as a steward which does not invite doubt). I have omitted the obviously incorrect information. However, due to the online interest in one of the crew, Nikola Primorac, you may find that there will be attempts to add unsubstantiated information to the article. As of today 15 September 2020 I have done my best to make sure that all information in the article is substantiated in contemporary authoritative sources.

This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues, only a lot of lengthy quotes. The image is in the public domain and a QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:24, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
