And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Rudder and inner propellers of the 'Aquitania' (1914)
Huh. Just read up on this. Larger sister to the Lusitania. Coal-fired, quad propellers, 23 knot service speed! Traveling in grand style. Converted to oil-fired, she worked up until being scrapped in 1950.
