Capitalization should be "Humber keel"

edit

The Humber Keel and Sloop Preservation Society uses the following capitalization convention, "Humber keel". Accordingly, I propose moving the title of this article to "Humber keel". HopsonRoad (talk) 20:54, 2 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Other sources:
Working Boats of Britain, McKee (highly authoritative as invariably cited by other authoritative works) "keel" (e.g. pg 75)
Chatham Directory of Inshore Craft (also published as Inshore Craft, Traditional Working Vessels of the British Isles) editors Mannering and Greenhill", "keel" - though hard to extract that from the text as the word is in a title or is the start of a sentence in most instances. (pg 54)
National Historic Fleet, e.g. [1] "keel" (though capitalised in tabular, summary information - which appears simply to be a matter of site style).
Greenwich Maritime Museum, (whose captioning of collection items is, incidentally, not known for a high level of accuracy) [2] also use "keel".
This seems reasonably conclusive. Before reading this post, I did find one local history site that capitalised the word, but cannot find it again. Even if I had found it, it has limited authority as an RS. ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 07:08, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Have now found the dissenting site: [3]. I don't think this alters the position.ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 07:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
