message: Figureheads weren't invented in the 16th century. They have a history going back to Ancient Egypt and the Phonecians. Viking longboats had carved dragon heads at the front of the ships and as far as I know, late medieval ships had them as well.

message: The information given about the SS Imperator doesn't seem to match the info in that article. According to that article, she was launched in 1912, and it says 1910 here. That could be the year she was laid down, but the Titanic hadn't even been launched yet then, as far as I know. It also says that "the length of the figurehead made her the longest ship in the world", but the other article says she was 24 feet longer...that doesn't look like 24 feet of figurehead to me. Just wondering about the discrepancies. AnnaGoFast (talk) 04:06, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

message: USS Chesapeake didn't have a figurehead but it did have a fiddlebeak. I think I know what that is and but I am struggling to find an explicit definition, preferably an illustration. I just to get hits for fiddlebacks and fiddleheads! It's off topic but an example of the scope that still remains for Wikipedia to cover. Humpster (talk) 06:32, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
