... that in 2017, the MT Petar Hektorović transported 52,912 vehicles from Split to Vis, but an estimated 41% of them ended up on the other side of the island?

Source: Annual number of transported vehicles in 2017: 52,912 ... it is estimated that 41 % of vehicles had the final destination in the town of Komiža (p. 231)

ALT1: ... that when the MT Petar Hektorović was temporarily reassigned, one Vis resident wrote an online memorial to the ship, writing "the waves of Vis grieve for you"? Source: Što da učinimo da nam se vratiš? Viška vala tuguje za tobom...
ALT2: ... that when Jadrolinija bought the MT Petar Hektorović, it was named for an author and poet from a town the ship no longer services? Source: In 1998, it was bought by Jadrolinija and renamed Petar Hektorović. It was primarily purchased with the aim of maintaining the local line Split - Stari Grad, which is why it was named after the famous Hvar poet Petar Hektorović. Today, it mainly maintains the Split - Vis line.

Article is long enough, and well sourced throughout without copyvio. Article is new enough (DYK submitted 5 days after creation). All three hooks are interesting; I think ALT1 is the most interesting and eye-catching, but personally, I would replace "online post" with "online memorial" to better characterize what the resident wrote. All hook sources are reliable. All in all, there's nothing else to comment on regarding the article. @ThaesOfereode: let me know what you think of replacing "post" with "memorial," then I'll approve it either way.

Hi @Kimikel: "Online memorial" works great, as would "online in memoriam"; I think either would be a better descriptor than just "post", which is sort of vague. Thanks for reviewing! ThaesOfereode (talk) 23:38, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Approving ALT1. I went ahead and made the discussed edit, I hope that's fine. Thank you for the quality submission! Kimikel (talk) 02:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
