From the top of each mast flies the flag of the Kingdom of Sardinia, The Stars and Stripes, and the British white ensign. At the stern of the ship is another Stars and Stripes and a US Naval Jack is at the bow. On deck, a collapsable funnel can be seen and two lifeboats. The back is the wool is visible through a lucite back.
