The steamboat Daniel Webster

... that Brooklyn's West Street Foundry, owned by Wilson Small, built the engine for Daniel Webster (pictured), which on debut in 1853 was the largest and fastest steamboat in Maine coastal service?

Some assistance in verifying the hook for the reviewer:

that the steamer was the largest and fastest on the Maine coast - sourced at the end of the Construction and design section in the Daniel Webster article.
that the engine was built by the West Street Foundry - same section as above, third paragraph.
that Wilson Small owned the foundry - either the Wilson Small or Foundry articles, should be easy to find.

- I think that should about cover it. Thanks, Gatoclass (talk) 09:31, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
