Photographs on ssmaritime and associate pages are by the author or from the
author’s private collection. In addition there are
some images that have been provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers
or collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However, there are some
photographs provided to me without details regarding the photographer/owner
concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images would be so kind to make
them-selves known to me (my email address may be found on www.ssmaritime.com only), in order that due credit may be given. I
know what it is like, I have seen a multitude of my own photographs on other
sites, yet these individuals either refuse to provide credit or remove them
when asked, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback when it comes to
the net. However, let us show these charlatans up and do the right thing at all
times and give credit where credit is due!
This notice covers
all pages, although, and I have done my best to ensure that all photographs are
duly credited and that this notice is displaced on each page, that is, when a
page is updated!
