Central Illustration: The U.S.S. Sabine
At the heart of the design lies a detailed illustration of the U.S.S. Sabine. The ship is rendered in a classic, historical style, capturing the essence of a mid-19th century naval vessel. Details like the rigging, cannons, and the ship's overall silhouette are carefully considered to provide an accurate representation.

Visual Context: Hampton Roads Setting
The ship is placed within the context of Hampton Roads, Virginia. The design may incorporate subtle elements to represent the strategic importance of the location, such as a stylized rendition of the harbor or a simple depiction of the surrounding coastline. This contextual information firmly grounds the artwork in the Civil War era and the specific operational theatre of the Union Navy.
Color Palette and Symbolism

Expect a palette that might include muted blues, grays, and perhaps touches of gold or red, symbolic of the Union Navy and the period.
