Nomination needs a hook. Suggest ... that in November 1929, the schooner Cymric collided with a tram in Dublin? Mjroots (talk) 13:52, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Interesting and well researched article. Length, creation date and hook citation seem fine if we use the hook:
... that in November 1929, the schooner Cymric collided with a tram in Dublin? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:00, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

It was pointed out to me that the date was 1921, I've amended the hook in the queue to give the correct year. Mjroots (talk) 14:06, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
