丢下领航员
《丢下领航员》（英语：Dropping the Pilot）是约翰·坦尼尔的一幅政治漫画，于1890年3月29日首次发表在英国杂志《Punch》上[1]。它描绘了奥托·冯·俾斯麦作为一名海上领航员走下一艘船，旁边是年轻的皇帝威廉二世。这幅漫画取材于船可能是受柏拉图将国家比做船的比喻影响。由于政治分歧，俾斯麦在10天前的3月19日应威廉的要求辞去了帝国总理的职务[2][3]。
漫画出版后，坦尼尔收到了第五代罗斯伯里伯爵普里姆罗斯的委托，要求他制作一份副本寄给俾斯麦本人。据报导，这位前总理回答说：“这画画得很好”[4]。
这幅漫画在德国广为人知，经常出现在历史教科书和教科书中，标题是《领航员离船》（德语：Der lotse geht von Bord）[5]。
