About this postcard

The picture shows a U.S. Navy warship under way, with two red-banded funnels, tall military masts, and the American flag at the stern. A small motor launch carrying several figures crosses the foreground, and a sailboat is visible at right. The printed caption, "AT HOME AGAIN," gives the scene a homecoming theme. By 1910, naval subjects were common in American postcards, where battleships and cruisers served as symbols of national pride. The ship itself is not named in the caption.
