Good job!

Melisse, good job uploading File:JACOB STRADER Steamboat - Original Image.jpg back in March! The file exists at higher resolution at the source site -- but as is often the case, they have designed their web site in a way that makes it really difficult to download at full resolution. It would be nice to find a way around that as possible (and since the file is in the public domain, we should feel no guilt about it! :)

I added the file to a preexisting category for this ship. Can you find it? (It's at the bottom of the image page.) You'll find a couple other images there, which might be useful for your article as well! -Pete F (talk) 18:48, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
