File misnamed, erroneous permission and source.

[edit]

The original photo was made by the builder, as correctly stated, Pusey & Jones. The original photo from which the Navy made its copy is held by the Hagley Museum and Library, Wilmington, Delaware, in its Pusey and Jones Corporation photograph collection (Accession 1972.350), Audiovisual Collections and Digital Initiatives Department. The original photo is Steel steam yacht, Christina, built for Fred C. Fletcher of Boston, Mass. dated 1912-05-11. The yacht Cristina did not become Artemis until bought in 1916 and renamed. The file information is correct as far as the Navy's description, but that description is faulty. Permission is certainly not U.S. government employee in any form. It is a corporate photo dating from before 1925 and thus in the public domain by that standard. 71.178.17.34 16:55, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
