Article

SS Princess Mary

Portion used

The entire digitized photoimage is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or mis-representation.

Low resolution?

The image is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the unknown photographer, but without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use

The image illustrates a significant event in the service history of this vessel. On February 14, 1915, Canadian fighting men embarked on this ship en route to World War I. Also, this image is placed in the infobox of the article discussing the SS Princess Mary, which is a subject of public interest. The significance of the image in the infobox is to help the reader (a) to identify this CPR vessel, (b) to assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the ship, and (c) to illustrate the ship in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

Because it is from an event in 1915, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the impression intended by the artist, would tarnish or misrepresent the event, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Other information

Although the original photograph could be construed as being in the public domain under the laws of Canada, the online source of this digitized image notes that unspecified rights are retained by the Royal BC Archives collection. Therefore, the use of the image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
