02 / Correction details

What should we update?

Type of correction Required

What the archive currently says

Status: Base access required
Explore Navy history in Preble Hall and the Academy’s official object narratives; expect installation access checks and visitor identification requirements.
Official Navy Museum visitor page: visitors without appropriate credentials generally walk in from Gate 1; no general visitor driving access.
Object catalog association is documented; current physical on-view availability must be confirmed with museum staff.
The archive recipient index does not currently include Cassin Young, so the 100 Objects gallery entry is linked as an exhibit rather than an invented recipient ID.
Museum-specific representative image added in M030 with source attribution; the image does not establish any additional artifact claim.
M040 adds a qualified, source-backed map point for visitor orientation; it does not claim a surveyed entrance coordinate.
