"an iron hulled, American" why not "American iron-hulled..."?
"The first iron hulled" hyphenate again.
"Merchant was built in" could say "she was built in" as it's unambiguous from the previous sentence.
"manufactured in Black Rock, New York and" comma after NY.
"winter of 1872-1873" en-dash, and avoid using seasons as their timings differ depending on where you are in the world.
"a.k.a. the "Anchor Line"" also known as
"1875 while" comma after year.
"bushels corn" of?
"Racine, Wisconsin due" comma after Wisconsin.
Apply en-dashes to year ranges in infobox.
"1862 in Buffalo, New York, by the shipyard owned by David Bell " overlinked, and you already said that second bit.
"Black Rock, New York by" comma after NY.
"J.V.F. Wilson" space out J. V. F.
"50 psi" convert.
"14 miles per hour (12.2 kn" can you add kph too?

"Malden, Ontario to prevent" comma after Ontario.
"winter of 1872 and the spring of 1873" see above, avoid seasons.
"(a.k.a. the "Anchor Line") " also known as.
"of Erie, Pennsylvania, which" overlinked.
"damaging her" which one?
In April... In June ... In July... mix it up little, perhaps "two months later" instead of "In June"?
"for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with" overlinked.
"bushels corn" of?
"off Racine, Wisconsin at around" comma after Wisconsin.
"second mate" link.
"sank onto the reef in about fifteen minutes" any word on casualties?
"the summer of 1877" season.
"badly broken up and" why "badly"?
See also, those boat names need italics.
Six instances of spaced hyphens in ref titles which should be en-dashes.
