Our article on the Golden Hind gives its length as 36.5 metres. I'm changin the claim to '9 metres longer' rather than 'twice as long'. Lisiate 23:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't it just be 'Solar boat'? And shouldn't the article point out it isn't the only one?
As regard the currant name of the ship, it is no doubt related to King Khoufu, and it is related to the ancient Egyptian believes which worshipped the sun, whatever was the purpuse of the ship (or boat or Barque) it was surely related to the ancient Egyptians Believes. Also it is known as the solar ship of King Khoufu, because there are many other solar ship in Giza and other places. The museum that keep the ship is called the Solar Ship museum.--Ashashyou (talk) 06:42, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
This article is nominally about the Khufu ship, the list of other ships should really be a separate article, with a summary of this article in it. Solar ships of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Egyptian solar ships are possible titles, or List of ships of Ancient Egypt -- 70.24.247.127 (talk) 09:23, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
This article refers to the item under discussion as a ship, a vessel, and most often, a boat. However, the 3rd paragraph of the "Function" section uses the term "felucca" to describe it. A felucca is a small, much more modern sail equipped boat that resembles the Khufu boat only vaguely. I suggest this wording be removed. Gcronau (talk) 00:18, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
After 4 years, no one made an objection to this, so I changed 4 uses of the term "felucca" to "boat". Rational: The title of this article is "Khufu ship", not felucca. The Egyptians themselves call the structure the boat is housed in "The Khufu Boat Museum", not felucca. The use of the term felucca seems to come from a cut&paste of text from a single source which is currently a dead link that is stored on archive.org.
A felucca is a modern river/fresh water sail boat used in the eastern med. Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, etc. The Khufu boat has no masts and no provisions for sails. It's also shaped much differently from a modern felucca. About the only thing the Khufu boat and a felucca have in common is that they're designed to float on water and transport people.

I've just removed a paragraph added by an IP yesterday, since it was copy-pasted from the source it cites, in breach of copyright. [1] The source seems badly-translated, and doesn't really make a lot of sense, so I've not tried to paraphrase it. 86.133.149.185 (talk) 17:07, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
