EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the pool and billiard room at the Gatun Y. M. C. A. in the Panama Canal Zone, circa 1910. Built specifically for American civilian workers, this recreational space provided a much-needed escape from their demanding jobs. The image, taken by Thomas J. Marine, showcases an early 20th-century interior with men engrossed in a game of billiards. The room exudes a sense of leisure and relaxation as men gather around the pool table, focused on their shots and enjoying friendly competition. The atmosphere is reminiscent of turn-of-the-century vacation spots where individuals sought respite from their daily routines. Located within Panamanian territory but built to cater to American workers involved in constructing the Panama Canal, this YMCA served as a hub for socializing and recreation during that era. It stands as a testament to the importance placed on providing amenities for those working away from home. This postcard-worthy snapshot offers us a glimpse into an earlier time when games like billiards were popular pastimes among both locals and expatriates alike. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand's collection, it allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of this space but also its historical significance within the context of American presence in Panama during this period.
