Caleb Grimshaw

I came across the American ship Caleb Grimshaw. On 20 November 1849 it sunk with the loss of 101 of the 457 people on board. So a large boat and a huge number of deaths. I wondered why there is not a Wikipedia page about such a main disaster? (I see many articles about it University of Liverpool and on the website of Grimshaw Origins and History.) Is this a good place to ask this? Or is there something like a page with requested ship articles? Thanks, 109.37.155.228 (talk) 09:19, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Done although this is the first ship page I've ever done so I'd appreciate another set of eyes on it. Annwfwn (talk) 20:59, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Military launches

I have added[1] a little bit about RAF launches to Launch (boat)#Military use in the UK, but I do not have any references to support this. Can anyone with appropriate sources fix that? Also, the whole section on military launches is without any refs. The only redeeming feature is that there are two linked articles that cover both Motor Launch and Royal Air Force Marine Branch.
