The link "Holding Record from the University of California, Berkeley for a copy of the California China Mail and Flying Dragon" is not working at this time; the site is not responding. If after a few days it is still not working please remove it. Thanks! --Dan East 03:35, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Factual Error

The article states that "His nephew, John Joseph Montgomery was inspired by these experiments and became a significant figure in the history of flight." Spearman's biography of Montgomery covers his genealogical history (Arthur Dunning Spearman, John Joseph Montgomery – Father of Basic Flying, University of Santa Clara, Santa Clara, CA, 1967); and Montgomery’s only relationship to Marriott is that Frederick “Marriott was an acquaintance of Zach Montgomery,” (page 11 of the referenced text). Zach Montgomery was John Montgomery’s father. ~~Kevin Burns 68.6.161.114 (talk) 13:16, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Questions

This entry states he was nearly shipwrecked sailing the Isthmus of Panama, but that is an area of land. FloridaArmy (talk) 08:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

It means sailing along the coast to the isthmus, crossing by land, and then continuing the journey via the other ocean. EEng 09:52, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
