Falcon CN97 and Nancy BA 2?6 at Broomielaw


Falcon CN97 and Nancy BA 2?6 at Broomielaw

Bought this in the Barra's about 10 years ago hope I am not infringing any copyright.



    Hi Dowler

    As a general rule of thumb - copyright lasts for 70 years after the death of the photographer. However the whole area of copyright is a minefield and my advise for the age of the photograph you have uploaded is that you would have nothing to worry about - at the end of the day I would assume the photographer would be long gone by now and his ancestors probably don't even know that they have copyrights on it. If someone does claim copyright then the photograph could be withdrawn.

    The site does have guidance on copyright @

    Nancy BA236..1933 Hugh McLean Govan. Super picture of both boats and crews.
    I feel that the photographer would be pleased to think that a photo he took so long ago was being looked at and enjoyed in 2008.
    Hi Brian

    I would certainly be pleased if someone was looking at my photo's 5 minutes after posting them, never mind 70 years after I kick the bucket  ???

    Hi Ronnie

    Haven't a clue James all that was written on the paper frame was Broomielaw
    One of a series of photos taken during the 2nd World War by either the Herald or Bulletin.

    Herring were plentiful and the Clyde fleet were getting humped nightly by the buyers (Nothing Changes!). In a show of unity the Clyde men got together and agreed to feed the steamers with herring early on, but promising more. The next rings were kept in the holds and the boats steamed directly up the Clyde to the Broomielaw and gave the rest of the catch away to the poor people of Glasgow. They had pre-warned the press, so the BA, TT and CN fleet were captured in a series of high quality shots arriving en-mass.

    The buyers weren't able to sell any that morning, as the market was flooded and for a short time afterwards they paid the fishermen a better price.
