Citation #3 does not mention German ship edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

... The paragraph that says "The St. Georges Bridge is a steel tied arch bridge that carries U.S. Route 13 (US 13) across the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in St. Georges, Delaware. Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and opened in 1942 as a high-level crossing, the bridge was the first four-lane, high-level crossing to span the canal. It replaced a previous vertical lift bridge which was damaged when a German merchant ship collided with it.[3]" appears to wrongly say that the previous vertical lift bridge was damaged by a German merchant ship, with a source citation [3] given. The ship was actually a U.S. ship, the S.S. Waukegan. The source citation [3] does not mention any German ship. ... In my opinion, the statement should be revised to name the S.S. Waukegan and the date of the accident (I don't have it in front of me), and the mention of a German ship and the erroneous citation [3] should be removed. ... All this is way beyond my abilities. A volunteer familiar with Wiki writing would need to make the changes!

... The S.S. Waukegan has its own Wikipedia write-up, which agrees with newspaper and other stories of the event.
