Any use for this image? It is the same boat, Bainbridge Island, before retirement. BatteryIncluded (talk) 05:38, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
Peculiar image
[edit]Something just doesn't seem right with File:MVSharpie.jpg. SSCS issued a press release with an image of the vessel that is markedly different to MVSharpie.jpg. MVSharpie.jpg is missing the logo on the superstructure and the hull is painted completely differently. Even the font used for "SHARPIE" is different. Why? --AussieLegend (✉) 11:10, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- @AussieLegend: Because, as the file description at Commons ("Design for the M/V Sharpie") suggests, it is a mock-up created in Photoshop or similar. The original photo shows the same ship in 2008 . I'm going to file a deletion request at Commons, as it is both misleading and a potential copyright violation. --El Grafo (talk) 08:18, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
