EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in black and white between c1910 and c1915 is a striking image of Santa Marta docked at an East River pier in New York City. The refrigerated fruit transport, affectionately known as the "banana boat," stands out against the iconic Brooklyn Bridge looming large in the background. This historic photograph was taken by Bain News Service, capturing a moment in time when international trade and commerce were thriving.
The Santa Marta played a significant role during World War I, transporting elements of US Army Base Hospital 22 from France to New York City in March 1919. Today, this vintage print serves as a testament to the city's bustling port activity and its connection to global events.
As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we are transported back to an era when steamships ruled the waters and international trade was a vital part of America's economy. The Santa Marta stands proudly at anchor, symbolizing the country's role as a major player in global commerce during that pivotal period.
