A photo of the watercolor of SS President Roosevelt which served the US Lines from 1922-39. This vessel and her sister the SS President Harding were typical ships of the 535 class (Harris Class Transports) which were created for trooping and cargo duties during WWI by the US Shipping Board through the Emergency Fleet Corporation. They never saw service in the war they were created for although both vessels were around when hostilities broke out "over there" once more. The President Harding was sold to Belgian interests when they were still neutrals and was sunk in 1940 by German aircraft. The President Roosevelt became one of the most decorated troop transports of WWII as the Joseph T. Dickman and participated in every theater of the war. Size of original is 12 x 14 Print size is 11 x 17. Edition is limited to 200 pieces. This photo of the artwork was taken prior to completion.
