License and reuse note

Creative Commons terms apply to the credited photographs, not automatically to Copperline Harbor’s text, design or identity. When reusing an image, follow its linked license and file page. Share-alike and attribution requirements remain attached to the image even after resizing.

Freshness rule: this ledger identifies editorial source routes. For a travel decision, reopen the current official page rather than treating a citation as a live operational snapshot.
