[edit] Public domain images

I've found a photograph and a number of drawings/paintings that are public domain ({{PD-Canada}}). though not as "pretty" as some of the engravings, esp. the one from Malta harbour, I've decided to use the photo taken in Esequimalt harbour, just because it's a photo and the image is clearer; sadlyl it's not under sail as it is in the other images; I'll posit the image links here in case someone else thinks they're worth adding to the article, if there's room, or substituting the photo for one of them. the linked files/pag4es go to BC Archivesk, but the images, ocne trimmed of the BC ARch frame, are PD.

• Painting of Ganges in Esquimalt harbour by Harkcorn, Sep 1858.
• Painting of Ganges in Esquimalt harbour by Wm. G.B. Willis
• Painting of Ganges by Georga Nash (I kinda like that one, but it's similar to the photo anyway)
• the Ganges in Malta Harbour - I really like that one; under sail and all; if there's room for it in the article let me know andI'll upload it.
• http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-2B0425B/cgi-bin/text2html/.visual/img_txt/dir_107/b_06941.txt HMS Ganges at anchor in Victoria, photog unknown] - this is the callsheet for the image I've used; the notes say 1880s, which can't be right as the Ganges was gone from BC by then.Skookum1 (talk) 14:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
