Afloat Capture Perry Shore Tabasco
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print commemorates the pivotal moment in the U.S. Naval Expedition's capture of the city of Tabasco, Mexico, in 1843. The image, titled "The capture of the city of Tabasco, by the U.S. naval expedition, afloat and on shore, under Comdre. Perry," captures the intensity and complexity of the military operation. At the center of the composition, Commodore Perry's flagship, the USS Mississippi, dominates the scene, anchored in the river with its cannons pointed towards the city. The city of Tabasco, located on the right bank of the river, is shown engulfed in smoke from the battle, with buildings on fire and explosions visible in the distance. On the left side of the image, soldiers and marines are shown storming the shore, advancing towards the city with fixed bayonets. The Mexican forces, outnumbered and outgunned, put up a valiant resistance, but ultimately surrendered to the superior U.S. military might. The capture of Tabasco was a significant victory for the U.S. in its ongoing efforts to secure a foothold in the Gulf of Mexico and protect American interests in the region. The successful expedition, led by Commodore Perry, demonstrated the United States' growing naval power and its determination to assert its presence on the international stage. This print, produced shortly after the event, serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of the U.S. military personnel involved in the operation and the strategic importance of the capture of Tabasco in the annals of American history.
