"Resolute: A Symbol of Unyielding Determination" In the midst of the Vietnam War, a patriotic poster featuring the word "Resolute" emerged, embodying the indomitable spirit of Vietnam. The image evoked memories of Old Willie, an esteemed village worthy depicted in a captivating 1886 oil painting. Just as Old Willie stood firm in his convictions, so too did the courageous men and women who fought for their country. The concept of resoluteness extended beyond borders and time periods. It echoed through history during the daring rescue mission to save McClure during an Arctic expedition. The bravery exhibited by those involved mirrored that displayed aboard Mainz, a ship captured in a stunning color lithograph. Even Queen Victoria herself recognized the significance of resilience when she visited HMS Resolute on her Arctic voyage. This engraving immortalized her visit and celebrated not only Her Majesty's presence but also the enduring strength symbolized by this legendary vessel.

Yet even in its demise, it served as a reminder that determination can withstand even the harshest trials. The legacy continued with other ships like George Griswold towing Resolute into Mersey while being saluted by Rock Fort—an engraving capturing both power and perseverance within one frame. Similarly, Sir Edward Belcher's Arctic Searching Squadron embodied unwavering resolve as they ventured into uncharted territories in search of answers. Resoluteness transcended geographical boundaries; it found itself intertwined with American history too. In George Washington's preliminary sketch from Valley Forge—depicting him amidst harsh winter conditions—we witness his unwavering commitment to freedom despite adversity. This steadfastness was further exemplified through stained glass art at All Saints Church on Eastchurch Isle—a design titled "Fortitude.
