EDITORS COMMENTS
MARINES DEPARTING, 1913: A Glimpse into History". This print captures a significant moment in American military history. Taken in February 1913 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on League Island, it showcases a group of U. S. Marines preparing for deployment during the Mexican Revolution. In this image, we see determined men clad in their iconic uniforms, standing amidst crates filled with essential supplies. These crates are to be loaded onto the U. S. Army transport ship Meade, visible in the background with its towering smokestacks. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these brave troops embark on their mission to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The photographer skillfully frames this scene against an expansive exterior backdrop of the shipyard grounds. The tripod-mounted camera perfectly captures every detail - from the expressions on spectators' faces to the meticulous organization of supplies on the ground. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into early 20th-century mobilization efforts but also offers insight into entertainment and spectatorship during that time period. It serves as a testament to both historical documentation and artistic expression. Preserved by The Granger Collection's archives, this remarkable image allows us to reflect upon our nation's rich military heritage and honor those who have served selflessly throughout history.
