Titled *The Pride of the Ocean*, this picture reads as a tribute to a vessel its makers held in special regard, since the phrase was a common way of praising a fine warship. Navies of the 19th and early 20th centuries often gave their flagships and favored ships such nicknames, and the same wording turned up on paintings, prints and postcards alike. Images like this mattered because they showed a ship's hull, rigging and crew at a time when naval strength was closely tied to national prestige. Look closely at the lines of the hull and the arrangement of sails or smokestacks to see how the artist wanted the vessel to be understood.
