it was first published before 1 March 1989 without copyright notice or before 1964 without copyright renewal or before the source country established copyright relations with the United States,
it was in the public domain in its home country (United Kingdom) on the URAA date (1 January 1996).

The ship was sold for scrap in May 1912, so the photo was taken 1912 or previously. The photographer Ernest Hopkins (died 1911) is stated to have died by 1913 (i.e. "the late Ernest Hopkins") on page ix of Volume I of The King's Ships[1] - therefore well over 70 years since the author's death, and was publisher in 1913 or before.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:35, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
