Original – The USS Missouri was one of the first U.S. Navy steam ships. It travelled across the ocean to Gibraltar... at which point an engineer accidentally broke a container of turpentine, it caught alight, and, well...

Reason: A fine, semi-official illustration which recounts the last hours of the ship. Dramatic, and has been stable in the article for five years.
