# Talk:USS Philadelphia (1776)

(Disclaimer: First-ever Wikipedia discussion post.)
I can find little or no information about this word "gundelo" that appears in the infobox title, presumably taken from the National Register page about the Philadelphia (linked at the bottom). It looks like maybe an old Americanization of "gondola," which the Philadelphia apparently was (Merriam-Webster: 2: a heavy flat-bottomed boat used on New England rivers and on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers)[1].
Can anyone verify this and mention it in the article, so there's not this mysterious term hanging out there?
A side note, the item on this entry on the "Philadelphia (disambiguation)" page describes this boat as a gondola, but I removed the link (and the word), because that Wikipedia entry only talks about the Venetian vessels, and it seemed confusing--especially as the word does not appear in this article either.

I don't have the source to hand, but I've seen the word mentioned in connection with this ship on more than on occasion. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 15:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
