With some interest I note that filming in Australia is about to begin on a Motion picture epic called The Catalpa Rescue. petedavo 10:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

James Keily's account differs from that in the article [ West Australian, 24 Feb 1905]
He states that he was part of the escape plot, but was unable to join due to an attentive warder.
The Catalpa arrived in New York in 1877, not 76 as stated in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.181.132.42 ( talk) 05:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Some of the early literature refers to Catalpa as a "whaleboat", which is fine. However, for our purposes I prefer "whaleship" for the reason that the word "whaleboat" more usually denotes one of the long rowboats which were lowered to go in pursuit of a whale (like the one which was used to transport the convict escapees out to sea). The colloquial "whaler" is regularly applied to both types of craft. Bjenks ( talk) 04:26, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
This book was ghosted by Pease on behalf of Anthony, and it is self-published by Anthony, so has no independent editorial oversight, even by the standards of the 19th century. Anthony was a sailor, not a writer or historian in any way. So it is not a RS Bumbubookworm ( talk) 22:11, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
Besides which, a ship's master may deemed to exercise far more expertise and accountability than an ordinary sailor, his duties including complex project and personnel management, navigation, record-keeping, communication with port authorities, etc, etc. And, as we know, Anthony was part of an activist community which included proficient journalists, editors, lawyers, etc. Bjenks ( talk) 03:41, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
