| Description |
English: This stereoscope card shows three US battleships in Sydney Harbour, viewed from Cremorne Heights. It is one of a set of 36 cards depicting scenes of the Great White Fleet visit to Australia in 1908. Stereoscope cards were a popular memento that allowed the viewer to see a photograph as a three-dimensional image. In December 1907 United States President Theodore Roosevelt sent the US Atlantic Battle Fleet of 16 battleships, all painted white in peacetime colours, on a 14 month goodwill cruise around the world. The voyage came at a time of tense relations between Japan and America and gave the US an opportunity to demonstrate its blue-water naval capabilities as well as strengthen diplomatic ties. The fleet arrived in Australia on 20 August 1908. |
