Showing the tugboat "Josephine" and the transatlantic ocean liner "Pennland" with white cliffs in the background. "SS Pittsburgh was a transatlantic ocean liner. It was built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the American Line. Initial construction began in 1913, but was delayed by World War I. The ship was completed in 1920, and made its first voyage in 1922 for the White Star Line. In 1925, under the name of "Pennland", it commenced operations for the Red Star Line. The ship was refitted as a troopship for the Allies in World War II. The ship was bombed on April 25, 1941 in the Gulf of Athens and sank" (Wikipedia). Ch.E. Dixon (1872-1934) was a highly successful British maritime painter; he regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy.
