Source issues
[edit]I only noticed after having finished writing that the Kamstrup book is self-published, so it probably doesn't pass as a reliable source. I haven't found other sources that support the commissioning by an English company, the year Andersen became its captain, or the timing of its transfer to the navy, though I'm seeing no reason to doubt the statements' accuracy. I suspect there might be coverage in other Danish sources.
The ship being struck from the naval register in 1903 is mentioned in this forum post,[1] but it says the ship was sold to Andersen, which I can't corroborate. I'm not sure that such a transaction aligns with it being a rotting wreck by 1908. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:15, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

- ... that a replica of the 1866 barque Thoon Kramom (pictured) was built for the shopping mall that now occupies its captain's company's old docks? Source: "the tall ship Sirimahannop, which is a replica of the ship Thoon Kramom that HN Andersen, the founder of East Asiatic Company, in 1883 sailed to Europe to open the teak trade between Thailand and Denmark"[2]; "Sirimahannop pays homage to its locality: Asiatique The Riverfront... which occupies a former dock of the Europe-Asia trade route ran by the East Asiatic Company."[3]
- ALT1: ... that the 1866 barque Thoon Kramom (pictured) now has a replica serving as a floating restaurant? Source: Same as the above.
- ALT2: ... that a shipload of Siamese teak carried by the Thoon Kramom (pictured) sold in Liverpool for a near 100 percent profit? Source: "In the autumn of 1883 Captain H.N. Andersen sailed a full cargo of teak to Europe on the Thoon Kramom... He succeeded in disposing of the teakwood in Liverpool at a near one hundred percent profit,"[4]

Created by Paul_012 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:47, 21 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Thoon Kramom (1866 ship); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Nominated within 7 days of article creation, long enough, no copyvio issues, article sufficiently cited (AGF on Thai sources), image is PD, and QPQ done. ALT0 is a bit wordy and confusing, and ALT2 isn't that interesting. Thus, I prefer ALT1. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:37, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
