"Old Ironsides, the 1926 James Cruze silent American-fighting-ship-battling-Barbary-pirates-in-the-Mediterranean romantic adventure melodrama ("A stirring story of the sea. The most costly film made thus far."; about the famous U.S. battleship, The Constitution, that was nicknamed "Old Ironsides"; the movie is a highly fictionalized account of the Battle of Tripoli Harbor, where pirates captured American ships and took them prisoners; the famous phrase "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute" is often falsely attributed to this confrontation, and while it wasn't said at that time, the sentiment applies) starring Wallace Beery, Esther Ralston, George Bancroft, Charles Farrell (in his fifth credited role!), and Charles Hill Mailes."

This source has been known to scholars for some time but not extensively used. Georgian Belfast, 1750-1850 reproduces each of the twenty-eight sheets in large format and color, drawing attention to this unique documentation of the town.".…
