incorrect link to a document
This record is about Clarence Skeete: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVBD-HXR9?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=L58S-7BP. But the link to the document is for a different person (Violet George). Can the link to the document be corrected?

@ARankin2 Unfortunately, looking at the description of the Collection: United States Panama Canal Zone, employment records and sailing lists, 1905-1937, I see that the index comes from the National Archives. So, FamilySearch is not going to be able to fix it. It might be a good idea to visit the National Archives website to see what they can do.
I spent about an hour poking around the catalog listing on FamilySearch for these records to see if I could find Clarence Skeete based on the info in the indexed information, but was not successful. But you could try that route. To glean the most information possible from the indexed info page, click the little down arrow under the thumbnail image. It gives a bit more information that might or might not be useful. Here is a link to the catalog page:
The other thing you could try would be a free virtual research consultation that the Family History Library offers. The experts there might be able to track down the record image for you:

I see that the citation reference is "32539". If you scroll through the records on this film you find image 301 relates to "Photo-Metal" 32499 and image 303 to Photo-Metal 32601. It appears the records in the range 32500-32600 have been omitted from filming, for some reason. Perhaps the actual documents were just to poor to film (note the "Photo is washed out" comment shown on the link provided relating to Clarence Skeete).
I agree this item includes an incorrect citation (image number 00340), but believe only the record custodian might be able to confirm the reason for the problem - i.e. why you do not have access to the original image.
(The images to see to be in numerical order, so I think you would probably be wasting your time in scrolling through the whole film (images 1-598) in a hope a whole batch (32500-32600) might have been filmed / digitized out of order)
BTW - did you see the page at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9FH-SQCG?i=624&cc=2193241&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQVSH-4RR9? This has a reference against Clarence Skeete of 10789. I didn't have time to investigate further, but wonder if this is the reference number that might lead to you finding the image of the 1907 record. (Sorry if you already found that one!)
