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!
