Description
English: Studies of ships, including destroyers, a minesweeping trawler, the submarine 'M1', an Elco launch and seaplanes attacking motor boats
The top left image is a destroyer of the Admiralty 'L 'or Admiralty 'M' type. The top centre image is the large submarine 'M1' (1917), which was completed with a 12-inch deck gun. The top right sketch is a minesweeping trawler with side gallows. The centre sketch may be Wyllie's interpretation of the bombing of British coastal motor boats by German seaplanes off Terschelling in the North Sea on 11 August 1918. Three CMBs were sunk; CMB 40, CMB 42 and CMB 47. On either side of the CMB sketch are bow and stern views of an Elco-built motor launch of 1915. At the bottom on the left a fast launch pr motor boat speeds away from a bomb or shell splash; to bottom right is a profile view of a merchant vessel with an island bridge and an indistinct word or name in Wyllie's hand, possibly '[H]ash' , under it.

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.
