Famous Shipwrecks Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

RMS Lusitania — The entry states 1,960 people on board, but the widely accepted figure is 1,959 (including 1,257 passengers and 702 crew).

The Bismarck — The entry says Bismarck's career lasted eight months, but it was actually nine months (August 1940 to May 1941).

The Bismarck — The entry says Operation Rheinübung lasted eight days, but it actually lasted ten days (18 May to 27 May 1941).

The Mary Rose — The entry states the Mary Rose was towed to London for fitting, but historical records indicate fitting out was done in Portsmouth and later at Deptford or Woolwich, not a simple tow to London.
