Title: WWI, RMS Mauretania, Dazzle Camouflage,1918

Caption: RMS Mauretania in New York City with American aviators and other troops returning from Europe after WWI on December 2, 1918. The ship is painted in dazzle camouflage. Dazzle camouflage was a family of ship camouflage used extensively in WWI. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colors, interrupting and intersecting each other. The intention of dazzle was not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed, and heading. (cropped and cleaned)
