The result was Keep. Yes, I know the discussion was only open for two hours, but eight valid "keep"s in only two hours is a lot, so I don't think that I'm applying WP:SNOW out of haste (especially since the article was improved during the discussion).

Keep -- we have 1000s of articles about notable historic ships. Take a look at the Irving Johnson article -- it includes numerous books and National Geographic articles about Johnson's travels in this sailing ship. --A. B. ^(talk) 22:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This ship is notable for being captured during WWI and especially for its subsequent well-documented travels with the Johnsons. Maralia (talk) 22:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, especially after Woody (talk · contribs)'s excellent cleanup and wikification. TomTheHand (talk) 22:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent is a wee bit much, I did what I can for now. It piqued my interest. :) Woody (talk) 22:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I gave it a quick copyedit, WP:MOS fixes and a better hook in the WP:LEAD. I disagree with the nominator that it is unencyclopedic. I believe it conforms to the relevant guidelines as it is notable, as is shown by the plentiful sources. Woody (talk) 22:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
