Name[edit]

@Chiswick Chap: I have misgivings that this source may have taken the information from Wikipedia. The claim that it was named after JRRT dates from the first version of the article in 2010. The Sunderland Echo article is from 2018. What I really want to know is why an 'R' is missing... Carcharoth (talk) 16:43, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Local newspaper from about the right time may be as close to an RS as we're likely to see. An RRS or even a JRRS, now that would be something. Maybe someone can find a more-RS. Or you can put it back how it was if you liked it that way... Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:01, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have now found https://www.tallship-for-sale.com/item/j-r-tolkien/ (cannot link URL as triggers spam blacklist) and a printed source here, so am happy now. Why do we not have an article on the Loth Lorien? :-) I suppose it can be mentioned here. Carcharoth (talk) 17:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
