Rationale for fair use in the S.S. Catalina article on wikipedia:
 * 1) The ship depicted is listed in a California Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The ship sank in Ensenada Harbor in 1997.
 * 2) The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
 * 3) The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
 * 4) The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
 * 5) The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
 * 6) The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
 * 7) The image is needed to identify an important historic ship for educational purposes in an encyclopedia entry and significantly improves the quality of the article.
 * 8) The image has a brief description that identifies the image and notes the source.
 * 9) A replaceable free image for the ship is unavailable as the ship sank in Ensenada Harbor in 1997.

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Use of image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
