they could take concept of the sheer size, rather than try to explain.

Some aspects of my job require me to work with big machinery (a 2000T press is a hefty bit of kit) but it is still miniscule to the sheer scale of Marine Engineering. Even from that photo it is still very hard to appreciate it

My thread title is, in hindsight, somewhat badly named....

My request for the benefit of the good folks on here was, by what means could I transfer an image of a ships engine that I sailed/worked upon (courtesy of one Mr Grey, once upon a time based at Buchannan Street - 041 2482333) so that they could take concept of the sheer size, rather than try to explain.

If it has caused offence then, be assured, I will remove and delete without a moments hesitation, bearing in mind that once a picture is posted on the interweb, is it not liable to such (good natured) hijacking??

I look forward to your response and direction....   

I have no problem with you using this image, my concern as I stated was that it appeared to be fair game to "lift" a Flickr image.

Happy to help.

You have PM..... 

I sailed on her from feb 1981 as 4E, joining at Singapore, to leaving in June 1981 at Bahrain.  From my discharge book (just raked it out....) Dennis Roche was the R/O, if thats of any further reassurance.

If you are insistant of claiming copywrite of a picture that I, in all probability, have a similar one of in a dusty box somewhere, then fair enough.  We have trodden the same chequerplate....

Very interesting the way these threads develope.

First of all, the Original pic was taken by a guy who presumably did not own the ship, did he have the ship owners permisision. 

Secondly is the picture copy writed, if not then no issue.

Thirdly, anyone posting a picture on the internet regardless of site rules (as most sites cover themselves againt situations) has shared the image to the world anyway, so whats the difference in looking at it, or saving a copy to look at later on in life.

Admission from H21 of a poor tittle for thread, appologies to all have been made, he mentions it is simply that he has travelled on said ship and therefore it seems he would like a memory of it.


I never understand the plova from these sort of simple threads that results.  If the person complaining is the original poster of the flivkr picture then when publish it in the 1st place if you dont want people to benefit from it.


Some people - sorry I just dont understand at times. :-/
