In April 1898, the Navy chartered four large passenger liners for conversion to auxiliary cruisers. USS Harvard and Yale were distinctive ships, with three smokestacks and "clipper" bows.
Both were very active in the Caribbean, searching for the Spanish fleet, patrolling, blockading and cutting telegraph cables. USS Harvard was present at the battle off Santiago, Cuba, on 3 July. With the elimination of Spanish naval power in the Caribbean area, the big ships were used as transports. They were returned to their owners in September 1898, but reentered Navy service as troop transports during the First World War.
This page features photographic views of these two auxiliary cruisers.

The Nature of Prints & Engravings
: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the
print
itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as
illustrations
to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques:
relief printing
(woodcut & wood engraving),
intaglio printing
(steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and
planographic printing
(lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.).  While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
