OriginalSMS Kaiserin Augusta leaving New York in 1893. 1895 lithograph by Carl Saltzmann.
Reason
And now for something completely different! But not yet! This is both a good image of the ship, a rather attractive background, and a nice example of the author's work (I think it's the only really good one we have, really). It has a lot of artistic merit as well, in my opinion.
