Ed Adam 1885/Havre
Notes The iron screw steamship Bothal, measured at 1,908 tons gross, was built by C.S. Swan & Co. at Wallsend on the Tyne and launched on 20th March 1878 for Arkless, Bell & Co. of Newcastle. The company became R. Bell & Co. in 1880, and she is seen here flying Bell's distinctive house flag emblazoned with a blue bell, and 'making her number' RVHP. R. Bell & Co. sold Bothal in 1899 and she was lost in the Bay of Biscay in 1902 while carrying a cargo of coal from Glasgow to Savona.

The author died in 1929, so 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 80 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".
