Excellent link, sapienza! The SS Melita is one of those rare photos that connect past and present. Looking at old high-contrast black-and-white photos makes even recent history seem so remote, then a picture like this comes along, looking like a modern ship that just happened to be photographed with black-and-white film.

The other major instance of this was the turn-of-the-century (19th century, that is) Russian photographer who took color pictures. I thought it was discussed here, but I can't find any links.
