I picked this up last weekend. A lithograph of the Great White Fleet.

Probably not so neat if you were one of the crew and had to keep those coal-fired monsters clean.

There's one on eBay for $500 - I'm guessing you paid less? :)

Yes, I paid less ;).

I keep thinking about racks of pristine Krags somewhere on board.
They must have gone through a lot of soogee to keep them clean!

I keep thinking about racks of pristine Winchester Lee Navys somewhere on board, too.
