EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in American history - the departure of the U. S. Army transport ship Meade from Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on League Island in February 1913. The image showcases the sheer size and grandeur of this steamship, with its impressive figurehead adorning the prow, ready to embark on a crucial mission. The Meade is seen being loaded along the Delaware River as it prepares to transport a contingent of U. S. Marines to Guantanamo, Cuba, in response to the Mexican Revolution that was unfolding at that time. This deployment highlights America's early involvement in Latin America during this period of political unrest. The scene exudes an air of anticipation and mobilization as soldiers can be seen diligently loading supplies onto the ship using ropes and gangplanks. The riverside setting adds an element of serenity amidst all the hustle and bustle surrounding this military operation. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's commitment to maintaining peace and stability beyond its borders. It encapsulates both the strength and determination exhibited by our armed forces during times of crisis while also showcasing their reliance on advanced transportation systems like this remarkable army transport ship - a true testament to American ingenuity.
