Every photograph on this site comes from Wikimedia Commons and is used under a Creative Commons licence or is in the public domain. Nothing here is stock imagery bought from a library, and nothing is generated.
Images have been resized and re-encoded to modern formats for performance. No image has been altered in content — nothing has been added, removed or composited.
Where a licence requires attribution, the photographer is named below and linked to the original file page. Where a licence is share-alike, that obligation passes to anyone reusing the image from here: your reuse is governed by the original licence, not by our terms.
Reusing these photographs
If you want to use one of these images, do not take it from this site. Follow the link to the file page on Wikimedia Commons, read the licence that applies to that specific file, and follow it. The requirements differ — CC0 asks nothing, CC BY requires attribution, CC BY-SA requires attribution and share-alike.
If you are one of the photographers
If you would like your attribution written differently, or you would prefer we stop using an image, write to contact@maduriver.boats and we will change it or remove it. We would rather hear from you than not.
