EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as United States Navy submarine chasers make their way through the Culebra Cut, a crucial section of the Panama Canal in 1915. The Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, was a major engineering feat that took over thirty years to complete, with construction beginning in 1904 and the first ships passing through in 1914. The Culebra Cut, also known as the Gaillard Cut, is a narrow and steep section of the canal that posed significant challenges during its construction. The cut was particularly challenging for the United States Navy, as it required the construction of a series of locks and the excavation of over 30 million cubic yards of earth and rock. In this photograph, we see a flotilla of submarine chasers making their way through the Culebra Cut. Submarine chasers were small, fast vessels designed to hunt and destroy submarines. Their presence in the canal was essential to ensure the safety of the ships passing through, as the canal was a strategic location during World War I. The submarine chasers are shown here in the final stages of their journey through the canal, with the Atlantic Ocean visible in the background. The engineering marvel of the canal is evident in the background, with the locks and the steep sides of the cut visible. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and workers who built the canal, as well as the United States Navy's commitment to ensuring the safety of shipping in the region. This photograph, taken circa 1915, is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Panama Canal and the United States Navy's role in its protection during a time of global conflict. The image is a reminder of the importance of infrastructure projects and the vital role they play in shaping the world we live in today.
