SL Osprey

• Comment: Unless you can find many more reliable sources, this information in this draft should be added to [[Windermere Jetty: Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories
  ]] instead, for example under a new section called "Boats". The boat is also not in the list at National Historic Fleet, so you could add it there with a link to Windermere Jetty: Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories#SL Osprey. I think this is what Robertsky was probably suggesting. (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 14:43, 6 September 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: the sources are from the museum primarily. while historic, we would require references from 3rd party sources to establish the notability of the craft per Wikipedia's standards. – robertsky (talk) 15:57, 22 August 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Steamboat Register is a WP:UGC and therefore not reliable. Lynch44 19:04, 20 August 2026 (UTC)
