Buying photos of old ships?

[Robert George Young]

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

Not sure if this link would be of any use to you? https://www.gov.uk/copyright/how-long-copyright-lasts Do a search on Ebay as there are often photos on there forsale, but perhaps those selling them may just be ignoring the copyright of the original owner?

[J Gowers]

Why don't you list the ships here as some members may have photos of them. I did an OU degree a few years ago and was advised if we used third party photos or info in our course reports/projects we had to acknowlage the sourse not sure how this applies if you are using them in a commercial enterprise though.

#3 I have already stated to Robert that I left the Rosewood in July 1972 if his father was on this vessel after that , he has the post of a crew member after this date . This is the only ship on that list I was on , if the other poster of the same ship hasn’t replied there is nothing more I can do. Hope he finds someone with more info. If his father was part of a London Dock Street crowd there may of been a chance I passed him during a sort of crew change but without further info. I know nutting.Cheers JS

Hi Bob
That is one long list mate, and it will take some doing to post all here.
I have a long long line of Ships , and all would be OK to use, as they are not Copywrited as far as i know!
The only was i feel that this would be done, is for me to send them through (That is the ones that i have ) to your Home Email, which i can get through the Admin, so dont post it here.
I will do a test first and see if you get the test Email, then we can go from there, but it will take time Bob as i am awfully busy
Cheers

[Doc Vernon]

I have printed this list our Bob, so as i can reference each Ship while looking for it!
Cheers

I have gone through the Ships starting with A Bob , and have a file on them all , there is one in question, Arisaig Greenock this is i feel just Arisaig Built in Greenock!
So have that one.
Cheers

Think she was an Ore carrier Vernon the name sounds familiar .JS.
The ones on BISCO Charter used to have their own Radio Shedule every day saying where they were, today with computers it would probably be called a blog. JS

[cappy]

Believe the photinia was stag line out of north shields ......agreat bosun was a neighbour in south shields .....brian williams a company man ......sadly passed away about 9 or 10 years ago .....a giant of a man with a heart of gold ......much respected on crews out of shields .....it was always reported that the starboard side of the stag line vessels were given a touch of paint as coming into the tyne .....the office wallahs would say .....OH doesnt she look pretty ........lol cappyR683532

[j.sabourn]

What did the ones on the South shore say Cappy.? Brian Williams name sounds familiar. Sailed with an an all Shields crew in the early years all shades and colours . All had one thing in common they all spoke Geordie . JS
