English: The Royal Navy during the Second World War
On board HMS RODNEY "Boys" receiving instruction on how to "heave the lead". The lead weighs 10 to 14 pounds and the picture shows a Boy standing in the "chains" about to heave the lead. Going in and out of harbour a Leadman is always in the chains taking soundings which he calls out to the bridge. The Forth railway bridge can be seen in the distance. Deutsch: Royal Navy im 2. Weltkrieg (1939-1945) An Bord der HMS RODNEY erhalten Matrosen die Instruktion zum Werfen des 10-14 Pfund (4,5-6,4 kg) schweren, unten offenen Lots. Der "Boy" steht beim Werfen "in the chains", einer balkonartigen Sicherungsbucht mit Geländerketten außerhalb der Reling. Während Ein- und Ausfahrt in bzw. aus einem Hafen steht hier regelmässig ein Lotmann, lotet wiederholt und ruft die Ergebnisse zur Brücke. Im Hintergrund die Eisenbahnbrücke Forth Bridge, Schottland. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
