SS Gallic (1918)[edit]

(

)

... ~~that despite the superstition it is bad luck to change a ship's name, the cargo vessel SS Gallic had her name changed seven times during her 37 years in service?~~

ALT1:... that the SS Gallic was the last surviving cargo vessel of the White Star Line when she was scrapped in 1956?

Article is new enough and long enough. Portions of the hook fact confirmed by refs 1 and 3. Portion also based on ref 2 which appears to be off-line, and as to that portion, I assume good faith. Copyvio check reports no violations detected. No QPQ required. Looks ok. Verification applies to the original hook only, which I find much hookier. Cbl62 (talk) 05:00, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

I pulled the original hook from the queue following this discussion, but in doing so I have verified the alt hook instead. Gatoclass (talk) 13:40, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
