<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhody, post: 4918383, member: 109131&quot;]The ship on the $2 note is the USS New York from an engraving by C.M. Chalmers used for propaganda in the runup to WWI involvement.&nbsp; Its sister ship is the USS Texas.&nbsp; Distinguishing differences are the horizontal position of the searchlights on the foremast on the New York s. up-and-down on the Texas until 1917. </p><p>The picture on the bill is also reversed in that the two ships had two anchors on the port side and one on the starboard side thus the ship shown was actually steaming to the left. For propaganda purposes, it would have been shown to advancing aggressively toward Europe which would west to east or left to right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
