| Date of publication | July, 2007 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Plan of the British Slave Ship Brooks, 1788 |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | Photo demonstrating public re-creation by students in 2007 of the layout of the slave ship Brooks from 1788. Shows that the drawing which it re-creates was used as an educational tool. Graphically captures the event much better than simply describing it in words, and was used by a university for an educational purpose. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
It is a photo of an event from 2007. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | To be used only on this one specific page. Is a low-resolution screenshot. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The photo was from a university's page illustrating an event from 2007. (the web page it was on originally is not even online anymore, and I pulled it from the Internet Archive). It would seem extremely unlikely that the university would be harmed in any way by publishing this photo. |
| Other information | I believe this is a valid Fair Use usage that will not harm the university or anyone else. |
