'Vizcaya' Under Full Headway

"A splendid picture of the pride of the Spanish navy, taken on the occasion of her visit to New York Harbor, when her captain hinted at his ability to blow holes through New York's sky-scrapers. In this picture the vessel makes a very beautiful appearance steaming out to sea under full headway. But what a contrast to a later Biograph picture [WRECK OF THE 'VIZCAYA'] when the vessel was a smoking hulk wrecked on the shore of Cuba, battered to pieces by the guns of the Oregon."

After losing Captain Jack Sparrow to the locker of Davy Jones, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and Captain Barbossa journey to the ends of the earth to rescue him.
