	Packet Ship UNITED STATES, Peabody Essex Museum
		Named after the renowned U.S. frigate launched at Philadelphia on 10 May 1797, this is one of the relatively few instances where Salmon identifies a specific ship.
		However, in view of the close maritime connections between the two ports and the intermediate port of Whitehaven now known to be his birthplace, it is most appropriate to include this important and informative picture.
		In addition to the nameboard at the bow, her name and national emblem are displayed below the lowest reefing points on the foresail.

	Royal Mail Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Royal Mail Ship (or Steamer), usually seen in its abbreviated form RMS, is the ship prefix used of any seagoing vessel that carries mail under contract to the British Royal Mail.
		The best-known ship carrying the prefix is almost certainly the RMS Titanic of the White Star Line.
		It was used by a large number of companies, but is often associated in particular with the Cunard line, which held a number of high-profile mail contract business, and which traditionally prefixed the titles of all its ships with the initials "RMS".
