Rear Admiral Henry K. Thatcher, USN, wrote on June 30, 1865, after survey, "She was hogged when surrendered and is not strong enough to bear the weight of her full armor."

Kyle Mills of DVD Talk found Kogami's "enigmatic" characterization his favorite because of his interaction with Tsunemori in the second episode and the exploration of his past in multiple episodes. Rebecca Silverman and Jacob Hope Chapman of Anime News Network felt the deep dynamic between Kogami and Tsunemori to be appealing, and enjoyed Kogami's characterization. According to David West of Neo, Kogami "is every inch the shonen action hero" in the series; he found this so repetitive that he laughed when Kogami was impressed by Tsunemori's growth as a detective, and thought that the character hogged the spotlight in the story. Kyle Mills called Kogami the "apparent villain" of the series because he leaves his comrades to save society from Makishima and take revenge for Sasayama's death.

He had ordered gunboats as harbor pilots to mark the safe passage across the shoal with anchored boats at the mouth of the harbor, but they failed to do so properlyRoosevelt, p.222 and President grounded on the bar and remained stuck there for almost two hours, enduring a pounding from the wind and heavy sea. The frigate was damaged by the time that it was worked free: some copper was stripped away from the hull, the masts were twisted and some of them had developed long cracks. Decatur claimed the hull was twisted, and the bow and stern hogged on the sand bar, although it is likely that this was the case before President had even left port as she was already overdue for repairs.

Estrella, also hampered by the conditions, was unable to assist the other ship and decided to put back to Santa Marta where she was surveyed at the British Vice-Consul's behest. It was found that Estrellas deck was hogged, probably as a result the earlier sinking and numerous groundings in the Magdalena, and that she was not seaworthy; in addition, the ship's boats were condemned as "entirely worthless". The surveyors advised that she should not leave the coast before the end of May 1857, when weather could be expected to have improved, and that she should carry additional engineers. In December 1861 Estrella was still in New Granada and provided safe haven for some residents of Santa Marta during the Colombian Civil War.

White was credited as a guest star in the first season and became a regular member of the cast in season two. Jo Marie Payton, who played Harriette Winslow, admitted that she felt the Urkel character had hogged much of the show's attention and disrupted the close family relationship she had formed with the rest of the cast. She experienced increasing burnout over the course of the show and felt that the overbearing focus on Urkel had made the show jump the shark; she very nearly quit when the show moved to CBS but agreed to stay for the first several episodes while a new actress, Judyann Elder, was cast as Harriet. White is one of the few living members of the cast with whom Payton no longer speaks regularly.

The LCA believed that instead of hatch cover leakage, the more probable cause of Edmund Fitzgeralds loss was shoaling or grounding in the Six Fathom Shoal northwest of Caribou Island when the vessel "unknowingly raked a reef" during the time the Whitefish Point light and radio beacon were not available as navigation aids. This hypothesis was supported by a 1976 Canadian hydrographic survey, which disclosed that an unknown shoal ran a mile further east of Six Fathom Shoal than shown on the Canadian charts. Officers from Arthur M. Anderson observed that Edmund Fitzgerald sailed through this exact area. Conjecture by proponents of the Six Fathom Shoal hypothesis concluded that Edmund Fitzgeralds downed fence rail reported by McSorley could occur only if the ship "hogged" during shoaling, with the bow and stern bent downward and the midsection raised by the shoal, pulling the railing tight until the cables dislodged or tore under the strain.
