The title pairs the battleship USS *Delaware* with the *Mayflower*, the Navy yacht that carried several presidents along the Atlantic coast and on summer trips. A battleship and a presidential yacht appearing together suggests a naval review, a ceremony, or a harbor visit, when the Navy's largest ships gathered and the executive's vessel joined them. The George Grantham Bain Collection was built by a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and its title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact occasion remains uncertain.
