Description
English: The waterfront at Greenwich

This drawing, formerly misleadingly called 'The Pier at Greenwich' (which did not exist until the mid-19th century) appears to show the area roughly west of where the Bellot Monument now stands with the buildings, including the Salutation and Ship taverns, at the end of Fisher Lane on the left. The railings are cut back towards the Five-Foot Walk at the bottom.

There is a cutter-rigged vessel lying alongside the wall, a small warship and a merchant brig lying off, and a tier of warships in ordinary (reserve), with a sheer-hulk, off Deptford Dockyard in the centre distance. The dome of St Paul's can be seen in the right distance. Greenwich Pensioners are walking along the open ground by the river wall.

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

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.

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.
