Reason	This is the graving dock where RMS Titanic was built and from which it was launched in 1912. Since the lens was set to a 35mm film equivalent of 55mm, there is no appreciable distortion due to telescopic or wide-angle use. Notice the H&W gantry crane and the White Star offices in the background. (The ship was built by H&W for White Star). -- Martinvl (talk)
Review (criteria)	Support Good resolution and lighting, particularly like the people to indicate scale. Best in scope. Rodhullandemu (talk) 15:56, 19 July 2019 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted. Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 04:59, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
