Picture

E.F. Neilson (1865-1909). The U.S.S. New York at Naval Anchorage, Staten Island, New York. Oil on canvas, 1895. The Noble Maritime Collection, Staten Island, NY.

The U.S.S. New York was part of the Great White Fleet, sixteen Navy battleships dispatched by President Theodore Roosevelt in December 1907 on a voyage of global circumnavigation. The ships were painted white to signify their purportedly peaceful intentions.
