Kay, I really like your idea! You could always add a military event with the military symbol (more than one if necessary) and the ship's picture in an Immigration event. If the individual has no other pictures as Kay suggested, the picture could also be included in the Picture Gallery and tag it - then when you do a report, you can select to include only untagged pictures, that way the ship wouldn't be duplicated and would appear in the report. You'd just have to make sure that other pictures you might want to include aren't tagged.

I have always wanted to do the same and have wished for the ability to add more than one photo per person to the family group sheet or an icon. An small icon by the name would be great. I would be happy if they were in sources, maybe an icon that shows a census page, flag, school house, etc. I love the visuals, it makes it all more interesting and fun.
