- I've done a copyedit. Some things of note (some of these aren't strictly GA criteria, others are part of the GA criteria, but all are part of the MOS):
- Spell out abbreviations for first use, such as GRT.
- Avoid the use of flags in infoboxes, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (icons)#Avoid_flag_icons_in_infoboxes
- It is standard practice in ship articles to include flagicons for ports of registry. The MOS does not reflect this, and the issue is under discussion via two RFCs at ]
- Countries and larger geographic areas (including continents) are not linked unless central for the article.
- There is a bit over overlinking in the article, see WP:OVERLINK. Common everyday terms should not be linked, such as oranges, meters etc.
- WP:DASH: when writing between two places, us an endash, not a hyphen.
- When they put an endash on a standard keyboard, I'll use it. As my keyboard doesn't have an endash, I have to make do with hyphens. Visually, there is little difference between them. Mjroots (talk) 06:01, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- On your keyboard hold down the alt key and on your right-hand number pad type in 0150 (endash) and release the alt key. For an emdash use 0151. Or there is {{]

- In short article and near the top of the article, don't repeat links from the lead.
- Titles are not capitalized unless in front of a name (e.g. "the first officer said", but "First Officer Jones said")
- Newspaper titles etc. are not to be written in all-caps, even if the original is, as this is a matter of typography.
- Ref 10 (Naufrágio Magdalena) had a dead link.
- Page numbers needed in 'Mitchell, W H, and Sawyer, L A'
- Difficult, I had the book on loan from the library in 2008. It appears to be no longer listed as available for loan.
- The second paragraph of the history section is too long, please spit it up somehow.
