Description
English: Battle School For U-boat Hunters- Royal Naval Training at Tobermory, Mull, Scotland, UK, 1944
Ratings on board HMS WESTERN ISLES winch up the tow line during a training exercise at Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. The original caption explains that, in order to tow a damaged ship to safety, a Chief Petty Officer fires a line across to the deck of the damaged ship: "to the line is attached a rope, to the tope a hawser and to the hawser a cable. The cable is hauled in by the rescued ship, and when all is secure the ship is in tow". This operation should take about 15 minutes.

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.
