I was flabbergasted by one of the image titles. "Women apply dazzle camouflage to a ship in Union Square, New York City." Mostly because Union Square is deep inside the city, far from the harbors. Turns out the ship was a wooden mockup, used as a recruitment tool [1]. The more you know!

I used to work around there and it seemed like they were refurbishing it recently. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Recruit_(TDE-1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Recruit_(TDE-1)
