... that a bust of notorious slave trader Isaac Franklin was placed on the prow of his slave ship, Isaac Franklin? Source: Rothman, Joshua D. (Apr 20, 2021). The Ledger and the Chain: How Domestic Slave Traders Shaped America. New York: Basic Books. ISBN 9781541616592. p. 248 "[...] the Isaac Franklin had one other very distinctive feature. Described as a “man bust head,” it was a carving of the head and torso of Isaac Franklin himself, affixed to the prow."

Article is newly 5x expanded and certainly long enough. The majority of sources used are either peer-reviewed academic journal articles or books from respected academic publishers, so I have no issues with accepting offline sources in good faith. The dated sources (1931/1943) are used sparingly and in appropriate context. Earwig returns no likelihood of copyright violation, although as noted a number of sources are offline. The article is well written and I see no neutrality issues - assessments of his actions are appropriately attributed to sources and contextualised. Possibly some additional commentary from modern writers could be included in the #Legacy section at some point, but this is not critical for the DYK nom. The hook is interesting – you had plenty to choose from – and reliably sourced as per the quote. The images used are correctly licensed, and QPQ is done. Thanks User:Generalissima for bringing this article on a significant historical figure up to scratch - I would see this as needing very little work to get it to GA/FA status if you would like to pursue a nomination.
