Description
English: This black and white photograph depicts three vessels of the US Naval 'Great White Fleet' on Sydney Harbour in 1908. A smaller number of sailing boats are shown in the water beside them.

In December 1907 United States President Theodore Roosevelt sent the US Atlantic Battle Fleet of 16 battleships, all painted white in peacetime colours, on a 14 month goodwill cruise around the world. The voyage came at a time of tense relations between Japan and America and gave the US an opportunity to demonstrate its blue-water naval capabilities as well as strengthen diplomatic ties. The fleet arrived in Australia on 20 August 1908.
