Description
English: 'Otranto' (1909)

The passenger liner 'Otranto' (1909) underway during speed trials off Skelmorlie, a view of the starboard side of the ship from broadside.

This is a copy negative made by Bedford Lemere & Co in 1913; the original photographer is unknown. A handwritten caption 'No. 278 Otranto' appears in reverse in the bottom left corner of the image. This vessel was Yard No 278 built by Workman, Clark & Co Ltd, Belfast.

A pair of measured mile posts can be seen on the shoreline in the background of the image. The maximum speed achieved as the mean of two runs (with and against the tide) was 18.95 knots.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
