Description
English: Annotated studies of the destroyers 'F14' in the Firth of Forth, with Arthur's Seat beyond, and 'F4' off the Bass Rock
The watercolour study at the top looks south towards Edinburgh.The number F14 written below it is presumably the pendant number of the three-stacker destroyer immediately above, which would be either the 'Oriana' or the 'Paladin'. They were both Admiralty M-class destroyers launched in 1916: 'Oriana' was allocated pendant F14 from January 1917 to January 1918 and 'Paladin' had this number from January to April 1918. The lower sketch, in pencil, with F04 under it shows the Admiralty Modified R-class destroyer 'Urchin', launched in 1917, off the Bass Rock (inscribed 'the Bass' by the artist). She carried the pendant F04 from January 1918 to 1922.

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 80 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.
