Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Motor Torpedo Boat PT-59
Description	Black and White photo of John F. Kennedy's old command PT-59 abandoned in the Harlem River in New York, rapidly decaying away, soon to sink. The boat had been converted to a fishing vessel.
Source	http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/05059.htm
Article	Motor Torpedo Boat PT-59
Portion used	All
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	Essential identification of wiki historical topic, PT-59, President John Kennedy's command in WWII, only photo of the boat nearly sunk. Should actually qualify as public domain, but chose not to make it public domain.
Replaceable?	Boat sunk and very very few images exist, no detailed images at all
Other information	This photo is actually from a "public file" inferring that it is indeed public domain. Anyone may check the source to clearly see the words "PT Boats Public Group", which infers the photo is actually public domain. I chose to keep it as non-free use, as it is not likely to be needed by other wiki articles, but it does have vast historical significance as it was President John Kennedy's command in the Solomons in October-November, 1943
