Who's the better shipwright?
Bonus: Idril Celebrindal or Rosie the Riveter?

It's right there in his name. Kaiser could get ships built by the gross, but I doubt that he could design them himself.

Of a Third Age White Ship being sunk
Over 1500 Liberty Ships were sunkéd
Quantity = Henry J
Quality = Cirdan
Bonus:
Idril’s son Earendil built the ship Vingilot which sails to this very day. (Lookee up!)
Idril herself was a "tunneler” not a “shipperess”
= Nod to Rosie (Ribbet! Ribbet!)

I know of at least one instance of Círdan losing a ship and everyone aboard: The ship he dispatched to aid King Arvedui at the Ice Bay of Forochel in TA 1975 was crushed by the ice after taking on Arvedui and his men.

You might still be technically correct.

The White Ships might have specifically been the vessels built to carry Elves voyaging to Aman. But do we know that Círdan didn't re-purpose one of those ships for the attempted rescue of Arvedui?
Then again, The One Ring Roleplaying Game gives us this:
Grey Ship
Oarless ships built by the Elves to sail the open sea.
