Neville recalls a dangerous Atlantic crossing coming in from Europe, 1925

Neville recalls crossing the Atlantic from Europe in 1925 on a ship caught in waves so violent that it listed at a forty-degree angle for forty-eight straight hours, with all the ballast and cargo shifted so far over that, as he puts it, a hanging necktie would have pointed at that same steep angle. He offers it as one of several real storms he lived through at sea, alongside the mystical vision of the sinking ship-captain, as evidence that he knows storms both actual and symbolic.

  1. 1925 estimated · preferred
    Reasoning Neville states the year plainly ('we came in from Europe in 1925'); a telling supports estimated, not stated (Part 2B). (anchors: passage 535578)
  2. 1925 stated · doubtful
    Source Down to the Sea in Ships ¶15passage 535578 (lecture nid 1276), 'we came in from Europe in 1925 and the ship at an angle of forty degrees. A little bit more and it would have gone over.'
    Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: a lecture telling is never a printed/stated date (Part 2B); should be estimated
    Reasoning Neville states the year directly and plainly ('we came in from Europe in 1925'), matching the event's existing title.

    Source Down to the Sea in Shipslecture nid 1276's sole delivery claim: 1967-04-14, stated/exact/certain, source legacy catalog #357, state legacy_unreviewed
    Reasoning Only one delivery claim exists for this lecture and nothing in the packet's processing notes contradicts it, so field_told inherits it; confidence capped at probable per the inheritance rule since the underlying claim is an unreviewed legacy catalog backfill rather than an independently verified date.

    Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: duplicates 6803's told claim; 6803's estimated/probable framing (legacy catalog) is sounder
