Viewing the high resolution photos: If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a larger screen with the photos. The high resolution photos are about 12 megapixel. So they are about 10 - 20 times larger than your 0.5 - 1.3 megapixel computer screen. Most browsers by default downsize the pictures to screen size, so you cannot see all the details of the ship models. To see the original resolution move the mouse over the pictures and click on the magnifying lens.

The photos of this ship model were made in open air. As the flag was slightly moved by the wind it is a little blurred in some of the photos. This Mississippi steamer model carries the US flag in its early 20th century modification of 6 * 8 stars
