Description
The barque Humphrey Nelson flying her recognition flags as she passes a three-masted merchantman off a mid-ocean. The wooden barque Humphrey Nelson was built at Dundee in 1855 for Nelson & Co. of Maryport. Registered at 476 tons and measuring 134 feet in length with a 25 foot beam, she began her career sailing out of Liverpool under the command of her owner Captain P. Nelson. Within ten years however, she was trading out of London to China under Captain Chellew but disappears from record in the early 1870s.[1]

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

The author died in 1859, so 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.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
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.
