Description
English: This photograph shows the Great White Fleet in Sydney Harbour in 1908. A battleship is pictured with a tugboat at its stern and a yacht sailing past. The peace time world tour was primarily a public relations exercise and an expression of American sea power. The arrival of the fleet generated great excitement in Sydney with estimated crowds of between 400,000 and 600,000 turning out to welcome the ships.
