For years, this MSTS site was a very popular site, and offered great enjoyment to the thousands of persons who sailed on the 75 or so MSTS ships that were displayed here.   As of today, the site has now been destroyed because of endless theft of material from it by dishonest people who: 1], stole photos from it and then posted them to THEIR site claiming them to be THEIR photos; or 2], they post links within THEIR site without explanation or 'credit', and at the same time claim the link from THEIR page to MY page to be one of theirs; and 3] on and on ...................... On the very first page of this site was a whole section that explained how to obtain permission [authorization] to use my material -- and they even ignored that -- just took what they wanted.  When questioned, they then claim .................. they didn't understand the "All Rights Reserved" notice on the site, nor that permission was needed to take something belonging to someone else -- you know, the standard excuse.  SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO STEAL.  This site will never be restored, thanks to an element of our society who, by their actions is causing our culture to self destruct -- but god will still bless them.
