Buying photos of old ships?

[Helen]

I’m writing a book about my dad’s life and would love to include the many ships he was on during 1947-1973

I’m sure most are copyrighted. Probably all are.

Just wondered best place to buy them to use in my book.

Any advice?
Thank you
Bob

Hi Bob,
CHEPMAN (180218) Took a quick look at your list. I can supply you a picture of this. Dad on it 1957 for short time. It may take couple of weeks as away this weekend. Cheers.

Dear Bob, Just remembered something - try e-bay as there are sellers on there who sell ship photos. Also, I think you can make a 'wish list' and if one comes up for sale you will be notified. As luck had it, I found the Chepman photo. in one of my computer picture folders but don't know where I got it. When back from hols. will look to see if I can find the original (or where mine came from) as have storage boxes of all sorts to do with dad's Memoirs just no time to look. Cheers. H

Hello Bob
I was sparks on Mystic in 1961 whilst she was on charter to Shaw Saville from Furness Withy.
I have tried to upload a photo but couldn't manage it. If you want I can send you the photo as an email attachment.
Cheers

Re MYSTIC #24. i think our Admin Doc Vernon said in an earlier post that Robert now had photos of all his listed ships of his father-and there were many!

#24 Malcolm. Re Mystic, I possess a book Fifty Years With The Prince Line. Captain R. C. Proctor. His last years were on the Mystic from 24/05/1960 - 29/05/1963 so possible you sailed with him. Photographs from book.
