Photo requests

I apologise for posting so many photo requests. Most are for the "Gold salvage" section, which has a lot of text but no images. Motacilla (talk) 10:31, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

FWIW, my dad was stationed at Bream Head in 1940, and was on watch when the ship started to go down. He raised the alarm, but it took him some time to convince his superiors that he wasn't drunk and hallucinating. [[User:Grutness|Grutness ^talk ]] 03:08, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Spanish flu

An interesting comment in George Warren Russell:

As Minister of Public Health, he was responsible for the decision to allow the Niagara to dock in Auckland in 1918, and was blamed for the resulting Spanish Flu epidemic which killed at least 8000 New Zealanders.

Not sure quite what the story is here, but would definitely be interesting to include in the article if it can be dug up. Andrew Gray (talk) 15:58, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

FYI: For anyone interested in researching this further it is discussed in the book Deep Water Gold by Keith Gordon - the conclusion the book reached was that the Spanish Flu was already in NZ at the time the Niagara docked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.175.40 (talk) 07:47, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

"Queen of the Pacific"?

Modern accounts claim that Niagara was nicknamed the "Queen of the Pacific". However, I have yet to find a source published when she was in service that used that nickname. I have not deleted the nickname, but I have tagged it as "unsourced" as I have no idea what source those modern accounts are citing. Motacilla (talk) 11:02, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Claymore

The salvage ship Claymore seems like it can support an article, SS Claymore (1902) [1][2] -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 11:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
