What’s this all about?

This is a website built and maintained by me, Drachinifel, you may have heard of me from my naval history channel on Youtube (Youtube.com/Drachinifel). Using the income from the channel has allowed me to amass a fair collection of naval photos as well as run ship design competitions that have themselves resulted in a lot of very fine artwork being produced. The purpose of the site is to provide access to this material for any who want to use it.

The ship design competition artwork and is provided under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC BY-NC-ND) license unless otherwise noted at the request of the creator of that content.

The naval photos are provided under the Attribution (CC BY) license, this is based on UK copyright law under which photographs taken prior to 1957 have a copyright of 50 years from the date of their being taken and all the photo’s hosted in this section of the site are either physically owned by me or have been provided temporarily to me with the explicit permission of the owner to host them here.
