Fortune (ship) → ? – There are many ships named "Fortune" at the disambiguation page fortune, so "fortune (ship)" should redirect to the diambiguation page (or become a {{shipindex}} WP:SETINDEX, and this page moved to a better name 65.92.180.137 (talk) 14:28, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Any additional comments:

Neutral, leaning support: The normal convention is to disambiguate by type, (ship) generally being taken to mea a full-rigged ship. If more than one full-rigged ship was named Fortune, then we generally dab by year of launch. In this case, the year of launch is apparently unknown. A possible title could be Fortune (Pilgrim Fathers' ship). Mjroots (talk) 19:50, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Fortune (Pilgrim Fathers' ship) is acceptable to me. (I am nominator) -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 09:21, 3 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
If it is moved, I think "Fortune (Plymouth Colony ship)" would probably be a better parenthetical disambiguation. Rreagan007 (talk) 05:40, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
Fortune (Plymouth Colony ship) is also acceptable to me. (I am nominator). It does seem better than "Pilgrim Fathers' ship". -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
