Ehime Maru, a Japanese fishing high school training ship that was sunk by the U.S. submarine USS Greenville in the Ehime Maru and USS Greeneville collision on February 6, 2001. Source: http://www.ntsb.gov/publictn/2005/MAB0501.htm, a U.S. government document, but the photo is not a U.S. government, public domain image. The credit is "Ehime Prefecture photo."

Though the picture is subject to copyright I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• It in no way infringes or assists in the illegal reproduction or distribution of the content of the event, goods or services being advertised;

• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the event, goods or services in any way;

• The image is of small size and inferior quality/resolution, so that attempts to make illegal print copies of the poster artwork would be useless;

• The image is being used strictly for informational and/or educational purposes;

• It furthers the goals of providing verifiable information concerning the subject matter, in that it visibly demonstrates content which is referenced explicitly or implicitly within the text of the article itself.

• No free images have been found of the subject
