Better name?[edit]

The name "Boitra" would be an unlikely search term for readers of the English Wikipedia, as would be Voita or Vahitra. The article is about the ships used in Kalinga, the old state centered on modern Orissa. I propose moving to Ships of Kalinga, and making a redirect to that for Ships of Orissa. Those seem more likely search terms. Comments? Aymatth2 (talk) 01:49, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I would favour Ships of Orissa. Chaosdruid (talk) 19:56, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Factual accuracy[edit]

I'm having some serious doubts about the accuracy of some of the statements in the text - or, to be more precise, the source from which they're derived. The Brahmanda Purana is a religious text, which the tone of the article does not seem to reflect, and the source cited seems very fishy, considering its overall vagueness as well as being the only source I've found that mentions steam engines in Orissa. I'm gonna go ahead and remove the statements in both this article and in Maritime History of Orissa. This means gutting the Construction section. Let me know if I broke something.
