Washington crossing the Delaware.

This picture always reminds me of a joke I read in the NY Herald Tribune years ago. Q: How can you tell if George Washington was in the army or navy? A: He stood up in a boat so he had to be in the army!
witty name said:
I just read an article that recreates this more accurately, saying that they wouldn't have used a boat, but a raft tied to cables, due to the transport of animals and cannons. It was also very foggy and George would have been sitting.

One of the gigantic 20 inch cannons designed by Rodman is visible at the far right, perhaps mounted on a railroad carriage. Total length of barrel, 243.5 inches; weight, 116,497 pounds, fired a 1,080 pound ball. On the left is a Monitor ironclad turret and its Dahlgren guns, as well as other Civil War vintage artillery such as a 30-pounder Parrott rifle. .
