An elegant woman is boarding a liner, accompanied by a liveried porter carrying her bag. The way she is dressed, her demeanor, and the attentiveness of the porter all speak to the style and service one can expect aboard this ship. In the background, three funnels, clad in the United States Lines' recognizable red, white and blue stripes represent the Leviathan, the most famous ship in the U.S. Lines fleet, and the only one with three smokestacks.
