About this postcard

The picture shows a large U.S. Navy warship, with two red-banded funnels and tall military masts, flying the American flag at the stern; a small motor launch with several figures moves across the foreground, and a sailboat is visible at right. The printed caption reads "AT HOME AGAIN," giving the scene a homecoming theme. Such patriotic naval imagery was popular in early 20th-century postcards, when American battleships and cruisers were celebrated in print.
