The steamboat *Pilgrim* is billed here as the largest in the world, a boast typical of the paddle-wheel vessels that carried passengers and freight on American rivers and coastal waters in the nineteenth century. Printmakers often produced views like this to celebrate new ships, and a name like *Pilgrim* tied the vessel to the Plymouth colony and to a sense of New England heritage that would have appealed to local audiences. Such pictures show how builders and owners promoted their ships, and the details of the hull, rigging and stacks are worth studying for what they reveal about steam travel in its heyday.
