Created by William Ralston and published in The Graphic on July 12,1879, this print showcases various aspects of life aboard a troopship. The scene is bustling with activity as troops from the army and navy go about their daily routines. In one corner, we witness an intense court martial taking place, highlighting the strict discipline enforced within military ranks. Nearby, doctors parade through the ship's corridors, ensuring the health and well-being of all onboard. The guard room stands prominently at the center of attention – a symbol of authority where punishments are meted out for any transgressions committed during this arduous journey. This image offers us insight into both camaraderie and hierarchy among soldiers as they navigate their duties while confined to this floating fortress.
