Drawings of seven ships over a 2000 year period:-

Roman Galley, Viking Long-Ship, Spanish Galleon, The Mayflower, The Cutty Sark, The Comet and, in the middle, Nuclear Ship Savannah.

The latter was an experimental nuclear-powered merchant ship launched in 1959 and decommissioned in 1971, now in the Maritime Museum, Baltimore.

The Comet was the first steam-powered vessel, launched in 1812 and named after the 'Great Comet' which passed within sight of Earth in 1811.
