- Source 1 - Detroit Free Press, page 18: Meteor III tops them all - Kaiser's new Yacht is Largest in the World
- Source 2 - Scientific American, Volume 86, p. 141: In point of size “Meteor III.” should be compared with “Gleniffer,” which previous to the launching of the Kaiser's yacht was the largest fore-and-aft schooner in the world. As it is “Meteor III.” is slightly the larger vessel.
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

The article is new enough, long enough and within policy regarding neutrality, sourcing and avoidance of close paraphrasing. The hook is within length, interesting, properly sourced and neutral. QPQ has been met. Photo meets requirements. Alansohn (talk) 04:44, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
- Doug Coldwell Green tick has been added. Good to go. Alansohn (talk) 23:56, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
