Comments

• "1908, John Mitchell ran aground" she ran aground, subject is unambiguous and prevents a third use of the ship name in as many sentences.
• The lead is heavily biased toward the final journey. It should be an even treatment of the article overall. I would reduce the detail in the lead about the final voyage and perhaps increase the detail on the other sections, some of which are barely covered.
• "1,350 hp (1,010 kW) or 1,400 hp (1,000 kW)" no need to relink units, they're already linked.
• "180 psi" convert.
• "had an interest in" no need to link.
• Again, avoid seasons per MOS:SEASON.
• Could link tug.
• "entered Lake Superior.[4][10] As' overlinked.
• "west of Whitefish Point, John" overlinked.
• "'7 miles per hour (6.1 kn)" km/h conversion?
• Swayze source, en-dash, not hyphen.
