EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1924, showcases three United States Navy destroyers, the USS McDermut (DD-223), USS Yarborough (DD-211), and USS Shirk (DD-252), as they transit through the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal, an engineering marvel of the 20th century, connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, making it a vital shipping route for nations around the world. The USS McDermut, named after Rear Admiral John McDermut, was the lead ship of her class and was commissioned in 1921. The USS Yarborough, named after Rear Admiral John C. Yarborough, was launched in 1919 and was the third ship of the Wickes class destroyers. The USS Shirk, named after Commander John H. Shirk, was the lead ship of her class and was commissioned in 1923. These destroyers, with their powerful guns and torpedoes, were designed for anti-submarine warfare and were an essential part of the United States Navy's fleet during the 1920s. The image of these ships passing through the Miraflores Locks highlights their size and power in comparison to the locks, emphasizing the engineering feat of the canal. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of prosperity and cultural change in the United States. This photograph captures a moment in history, showcasing the country's military might and its ability to navigate the world's oceans. The image is a testament to the United States' commitment to maintaining a strong naval presence, both at home and abroad.
