Photographs on ssmaritime and its associate pages are by the author or from the author’s private collection; be they taken by him, from his private collection such as postcards, images purchased or photographs copied from brochures from his 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 that have been provided to me by supporters of ssmaritime but without details regarding the photographer or /owner concerned. Therefore, I hereby invite owners of these images to be so kind as to make them-selves known to me per email at rg@ssmaritime.com, in order that due credit may be given to them. Believe me, 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 even remove them when asked to, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback when it comes to the world wide net. However, let us show these charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where credit is due! In addition please note, that this and all my sites are 100% non commercial as I seek no funding or advertising, for the aim is to see all those who love classic liners discover the ships they love, and that is sufficient thanks to me!
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!
