Talk:HMS Ganges (1821)

Public domain images
I've found a photograph and a number of drawings/paintings that are public domain. though not as "pretty" as some of the engravings, esp. the one from Malta harbour, I've decided to use the photo taken in Esequimalt harbour, just because it's a photo and the image is clearer; sadlyl it's not under sail as it is in the other images; I'll posit the image links here in case someone else thinks they're worth adding to the article, if there's room, or substituting the photo for one of them. the linked files/pag4es go to BC Archivesk, but the images, ocne trimmed of the BC ARch frame, are PD.
 * Painting of Ganges in Esquimalt harbour by Harkcorn, Sep 1858.
 * Painting of Ganges in Esquimalt harbour by Wm. G.B. Willis
 * Painting of Ganges by Georga Nash (I kinda like that one, but it's similar to the photo anyway)
 * the Ganges in Malta Harbour - I really like that one; under sail and all; if there's room for it in the article let me know andI'll upload it.
