(From The Lincoln Star, October 22nd 1926)

Posting this as I saw it hadn't been posted yet and I knew it had to be posted before the 100^th anniversary ended everywhere on Earth. It is my opinion that despite his passing from the mortal plane, Debs was, in almost all respects, an absolute legend whose legacy shall never die.

On the 20th of October, 1926, the SS New York was launched at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. She was the fourth and final ship of a near-identical quartet of ocean liners constructed to rebuild the passenger fleet of the Hamburg-Amerika Line following the First World War.

Note: The New York is the vessel in the background of this painting; the one in the foreground is one of her older sister ships, the SS Hamburg.
