William D. Gregory
- ... that a "desperate" attempt was made to rescue Captain William D. Gregory (pictured) and the crew of the sinking clipper Tejuca during an 1856 hurricane?
- Sources: for the "desperate" attempt: "A Well Deserved Testimonial". The Daily Picayune. New Orleans. 1856-06-10. p. 3?.. For Gregory as the captain: Lindsey 1915, page 68 - both references in the Tejuca article, nos. 1 and 23 respectively.

Both articles created within the last seven days. Both articles clear minimum prose requirements. Spot checks from online sourcing turned up no paraphrasing issues, and sources appear to support statements that they purport to. No neutrality concerns. Hook is short enough. Promise of a deadly shipwreck is interesting to a broad audience. Source provided supports hook. QPQ requirement satisfied. Image shows up well at low resolution, and is verifiably in the public domain. This is my first DYK review; please alert me if I have done it wrong. Steve Smith (talk) 05:09, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
