MARINES DEPARTING, 1913 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in American military history. Taken in February 1913 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on League Island, it depicts U. S. Marines embarking for Guantanamo, Cuba, aboard the U. S. Army transport ship Meade. The image showcases a scene of bustling activity as troops clad in their distinctive uniforms line up along the deck of the ship. Each Marine carries a knapsack and rifle, ready for deployment to Latin America amidst the turmoil of the Mexican Revolution. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these brave men prepare to depart from their homeland. The gangplank leading onto the vessel symbolizes their commitment to duty and service. In this early era of mobilization, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how our armed forces have always answered the call when needed. Notably captured are details such as lifeboats hanging from davits above and crates stacked nearby – evidence of meticulous preparation for an arduous journey ahead. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these courageous individuals who left behind loved ones and familiar shores to protect American interests abroad. This print serves as both a testament to their bravery and an enduring tribute to all those who have served in defense of our nation throughout history.
