Comments

"Cleveland, and Lake Superior " no comma needed.
"9:30, 9:40 or 9:45 p.m" probably no need for this in the lead.
"Later during the day" perhaps "later that evening"?
"At 9:00 or 9:30 a.m., the " again, too detailed for lead.
"The wreck of Ironsides was discovered" no need for "of Ironsides"
"built on in 1864" -on.
"conflict on who built her.[1][2][3] Ironsides was built" bit repetitive and these short sentences can be merged.
The Lac La Belle article says she (an identical ship) was built by Ira Lafrinnier...
"changed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[11]" overlinked,
"Englemann of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and" ditto.
"in a storm off Racine, Wisconsin.[5]" overlinked.
"199,556" probably nearest $1000 is fine.
"with 13,000 bushels of wheat," overlinked.
Lead "partially collapsed in 120 feet (36.6 m) of water" article "109 feet (33.2 m) of water, while the bow lies slightly deeper at 122 feet (37.2 m)"
"Johnston, J.E. " ref, J. E. and en-dash not spaced hyphen.
I don't see this article linked to all those incident/shipwreck templates so they shouldn't be there. That applies to all these articles, but I've only just noticed.

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 09:16, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I don't know what to do about the rounding of dollars. Other than that, everything is done. GreatLakesShips (talk) 20:59, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've fixed that for you, using the template's documentation, if you add |r=-3 then it will give the inflated value to the nearest 1000 (r=-2 to the nearest 100, r=-1, nearest 10 etc). The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 07:27, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: SS Lac La Belle was rated a stub but I moved it to start, I think it's a bit more than stub. Not sure if that would affect the nomination if it was. But yeah, all looks good! Echetus Xe 08:08, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
