A fact from Brother Jonathan (steamer) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 November 2006. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that when the Brother Jonathan (pictured) sank off the coast of California in 1856, it was the worst shipwreck on the Pacific Coast of the United States at the time? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/November.

A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on July 30, 2011, July 30, 2013, July 30, 2015, July 30, 2018, July 30, 2020, July 30, 2021, July 30, 2022, and July 30, 2023.

Today I was reading this Brother Jonathan article for the first time. When I clicked on "footnotes" (references) numbered 7 8 9 10 and 11, nothing happened. I don't know how to fix this, would appreciate it if someone else can put things right. Thanks. Publius3 (talk) 23:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Duh, dunno how I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out. howcheng {chat} 00:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was reading this article on 3/28/14. I noticed that it states that The reef the ship slammed into is now known as Jonathan Rock. Which is incorrect. The vessel hit an uncharted rock at the time of the accident(known now as Jonathan Rock). The reef that the ship hit is St. George Reef where Jonathan Rock is located and is one of the western most rocks that is close to or breaks the surface of the water. Jonathan Rock is only visible at low tides and is classified as a wash rock.

The first paragraph is contradictory. It states 244 total passengers and crew, then states 244 p&c lost plus 19 surviving which would give 263 total p&c. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.106.237.97 (talk) 20:48, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where was it built?

The date of the source is 2006; gold prices have risen enormously since then. 50.111.41.243 (talk) 12:54, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

... tribes were later compensated for the loss of their payment in the wreck? 50.111.41.243 (talk) 12:58, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
