2577:! Now I'm practicing my poor Portuguese reading skills on that. I passed right by that statue a bit over a year ago and did not realize it was there. I don't know what I can do short term on the book. I did find a pretty extensive list of web references with what seem to be reliable sources. I am still exploring those. Being a newbie here how is the best way to collaborate in draft stages? There has been an Afro-Brasilian blooming in the last decades that is quite interesting--and refreshing--in many ways. Despite the reputation of being "color blind" the country is coming to terms that there was a good bit of fiction there. There was never the "Jim Crow" legal structure seen here but there was sort of a blind eye turned to Afro-Brasilian culture. A return to Salvador in 2007 after almost forty years was amazing and there is real recognition of the fact so much of that history was ignored among those of European origin.

The second map has two misspellings "Floridan" (should be "Florida"?) and "peninnsula", and wastes too much time talking about colors (which are irrelevant details) and doesn't give important points such as where was the line of thunderstorms? and where were they the most severe? Please see WP:ALT#Maps for more advice. For the 3rd image "one side's worth" is phrased oddly; how about something like "the houses on one side" and "the houses on the other side"? The 4th image looks good.

Took part in a rebellion, served in WWI and WWII, and blew up in the Atlantic near the Equator during the latter. The surviving crew had to endure days of harsh sun, no food and shark attacks.

Repeating what I just said at WT:SHIPS: I've done some poking around and I think I can support this for any units that are converted in the infobox, but getting it through FAC would probably require an edit to MOSNUM of some kind. There's no guidance on this in the MILHIST or SHIPS style guides.
