Great White Fleet Silk Mural

Museum staff have recently installed this silk embroidered mural commentating the voyage of the U.S. Battle Fleet's (a.k.a. the "Great White Fleet") world cruise in the museum's Great White Fleet gallery.  Sailors commissioned artists in Japan to make these elaborate and colorful murals while the Fleet was in Yokohama.
