Captain's quarters, HMS Victory. Word has it, the ship will soon be available for private parties. Madeira, biscuit and cheese!! (No grog, thank you, as these parties will certainly be for corporate suits.)

USS Constitution and the SS Traveler (in the distance) at full sail racing the wind. I do not know this image. It appears to be a computer graphic, but I am not sure.

J.M.W. Turner: The Fighting Temeraire. 1838. She's being towed to her last berth to be broken up. According to Wikipedia, this painting handily won BBC Radio 4's 2005 poll as the greatest painting in Britain. Hmm.
