Every photo on the site is one we are allowed to use. Most come from Wikimedia Commons under their authors' free licences, and each shows its author and licence.
This page says how we pick those photos, how we credit them, what we do when a licence asks for share-alike, and the terms for photos sailors send us. It also gives the licence for the graphics and data we make ourselves.
Most of our photos come from Wikimedia Commons, where each file lists its author and licence on its own page. (From the operator, ) We also use photos their photographers gave us permission to publish, credited "Used with permission".
Only licences that let usA licence that lets anyone share and adapt the photo, with credit: Creative Commons BY or BY-SA, in any version, or public domain. We skip photos marked "no derivatives", because we crop every photo to fit its place on the page, and photos marked "non-commercial".
We read the file's own pageWe take the author and the licence from the photo's page on Commons, not from a copy elsewhere, and note both in our list of photos with the page's address.
Where a photo was takenA place's own page shows only photos of that place, and a map where we have none. A guide or a route may show a typical scene from somewhere else, and its credit says where it is.
Never an AI imageWe never use a picture of a real place made or changed with AI.
Nothing changedWe don't add, remove or retouch anything in someone else's photo. We make smaller copies for speed and show them cropped to fit.

How we credit them
Most of these licences ask for three things: credit the author, name and link the licence, and say if you changed the photo. (From the operator, ) We do it in two places:
On the pageA page's main photos carry a short credit: "Photo:", the author and the licence.
In the slideshowEvery photo opens in the slideshow, with its full credit under it: the place, what the photo shows, the author, the licence linked to its text, and a link to the photo's page on Commons, or to the photographer's page for a photo used with permission.
A credit, as it shows in the slideshow:
Kut, Vis town, island of Vis. Kut waterfront in Vis town with yachts and gulets moored and a yacht on a buoy in front. Photo: Falk2, CC BY-SA 4.0, on Wikimedia Commons
We copy the author's name exactly as the file page gives it, even when it is a user name.
When a licence asks for share-alike
CC BY-SA asks the same, and one thing more: if you remix, transform or build on the photo, you must share your version under the same licence. (From the operator, )65 of the 116 photos we use today are share-alike.
The photo keeps its licenceOn our pages a share-alike photo stays under its own licence, and its credit says so, "CC BY-SA", with the link.
Our page keeps its own termsA photo on a page with our text doesn't change either one. The photo's licence covers the photo, not the page around it. (From the operator, )
If we ever edit oneIf we must change a share-alike photo, for example to blur a face or a boat's name, we share our edited version under the same licence, and the credit says what we changed, for example "Photo: the author's name, CC BY-SA 4.0, face blurred by OlaSail".
If a licence doesn't suitWe don't use the photo. We look for another, or show a map.
Every photo we use, and its credit
Today that is 116 photos by 65 photographers: 112 from Wikimedia Commons, each under its author's licence, and 4 used with the photographer's permission.
