Few ships in the young U.S. Navy were as large as the *Pennsylvania*, whose launch on July 18, 1837, is noted in the caption beneath this lithograph. The print shows the vessel as a sailing ship of the line, and its title names Charles Stewart as commissioner, a reminder of how closely naval construction was tied to officials in Washington. The drawing was made on stone by Charles C. Barton of the Navy and printed by Lehmann & Duval, a Philadelphia firm known for city views and ship portraits. Prints like this one helped the public and the service follow new construction, and they show how much of the Navy's pride rested on its big wooden warships.
