Tall Ships 2011 Ullapool Friday 15/07/2011

The Christian Radich sailed back to Norway late in 1939 and was placed under the control of the Norwegian Navy. She was seized by the Germans at Horten, near Oslo, and was used by them as a submarine depot ship. She was taken to Germany in 1943, and in 1945 she was found by the Allies at Flensburg in a capsized condition and without her masts or equipment. She was towed back to Norway and was rebuilt in the same yard where she was built in 1937.

She resumed her schoolship operations in 1947 and in 1956-1957 she went on a long trans-Atlantic cruise during which the wide-screen Cinerama film "Windjammer" was shot aboard. In the 1970's she also played a leading role in "The Onedin Line" television series.

In 1976 she took part in the American Bicentennial trans-Atlantic Tall Ships Race. After a major refit and accommodation modernization in 1983 she took part in the Quebec Tall Ships Parade in 1984. In 1986 she went to New York Op Sail marking the Centennial and re-dedication of the Statue of Liberty. In 1992 she took part in the Columbus Regatta, and will again be at Sail Amsterdam in 2000.

My Rights

Photographer's Rights
Photographers rights to their copyright and the licensing arrangements that enable them to make a living from their creativity and skills are under threat as never before. If you don't understand rights and copyright here is how it works.
You take a photograph, you could be an amateur photographer, or a professional, or you are just taking a snap for the family album, the law grants everyone equal rights. The instant you take the photograph the law makes you the copyright owner of that photograph. There are no forms to fill, you don't need to register your photograph, you just need to press the button on your camera! You are now a copyright owner!
What does this mean? It means that no one else can use or reproduce the photograph you have taken without your permission. Being the copyright owner automatically gives you legal rights that to control who, when and where your photograph is used, commonly referred to as photographer's rights. Every country in the world has copyright laws in place to protect creators and their work so that creators can make a living from their creativity.
Licensing
Normally you would only give permission to use your photograph in return for a fee payable to you. This arrangement is known as licensing. In other words, to give your permission you draw up a license document for someone who wants to use your photograph.The license document will spell out how long they can use the photograph, what it can be used for (e.g. one specific usage, say in a book, or a particular advert), and where it can be used, in one country for example, or throughout Europe, or worldwide. The greater the rights requested, say usage for two years instead of one, or to have multiple uses, the greater will be the license fee you charge them.
When the license expires the image must cease being used by the person the license was granted to. They can apply to you for another license of course, and you will charge another fee. This is how creative people such as photographers, writers, and poets for example earn a living.
Copyright Infringement
Without copyright law to protect them creative people would find the products of their creativity being copied and used by everybody without payment; they would find it impossible to make a living. Copyright law makes it illegal to use another's creativity without a license granted by the copyright owner.Anyone using a copyrighted work without a license issued by the copyright owner can be sued in court for copyright infringement. Your photographs are unique products of your creativity, a means of earning a living, you must take care to protect your rights, rights freely given to you by the law.Another way of earning money from your work is to allow the public to buy a copy for their personal use. They can buy a photograph from you for their personal enjoyment, hang it on their wall, but this does not give them a right to copy it and sell or distribute it to others. Those who do that can also be sued for copyright infringement.
