Until something can be referenced to demonstrate Heisler's qualification as "grand master" (winning awards and trophies goes a long way, but doesn't quite get there), the title should be removed from the article. Alan 14:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

On additional review, I changed Heisler's title from "grand master" to "master"...there's no question that he can be called a master shipwright, since many examples of his boats are still afloat and in use. The title "grand master", however, is (IMO) argumentative and non-neutral. If a verifiable reference can be found granting him that honorific, the title can and should be reverted.
