Conflicting History Data

NavSource and Wikipedia both say the yacht was initially named "CORSAIR III".
Lloyd's Register of Yachts and Merchant Vessels of the United States both list the name only as "CORSAIR".
Note that this was the third CORSAIR owned by J. P. Morgan but the name was CORSAIR.

NavSource lists the builder as "W. & A. Fletcher Co., Hoboken, N.J." but this company only built the engines and boilers.
Both Wikipedia and Lloyd's correctly list the owner as "T. S. Marvel Shipbuilding, Newburgh New York".

 

Naval Covers

This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.

  1. Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)

 


Postmarks

This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
 
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the existing example.
