Description
English: Railway Jetty
Why this has the received title 'Railway Jetty' and a recorded suggestion that it shows battleships and cruisers probably alongside the dockyard at Portsmouth has yet to be resolved. It does not look like the South Railway Jetty at Portsmouth since, if so, the Round Tower and harbour entrance should be visible beyond, and it may not be Portsmouth at all. The ship on the left is the battleship 'Dreadnought' (1906) and there is a 'Queen Elizabeth'-class battleship - all five of these being commissioned in 1915-16 - immediately astern (right) of her, but the others are too indistinct to identify.

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.
