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 displayed on each page, that is, when a page
is updated!
