EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MARINES DEPARTING, 1913" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases U. S. Marines and crew members diligently loading the U. S. Army transport ship Meade at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on League Island in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The year is 1913, and tensions are high due to the Mexican Revolution unfolding south of the border. In response to this conflict, these brave men are embarking on a mission to Guantanamo, Cuba. This photograph captures their early deployment preparations as they gather on deck with crates and equipment strewn about. Dressed immaculately in their uniforms, these dedicated servicemen epitomize strength and determination as they mobilize for duty overseas. Their faces reflect both anticipation and resolve as they embark on this important journey. League Island serves as a backdrop for this historic scene - its significance not lost upon those who witness it firsthand or through this timeless photograph. The crisp February air adds an element of realism to the image while reminding us of the sacrifices made by these troops during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time - reminded of the bravery exhibited by our military forces throughout history. It stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards protecting our nation's interests abroad during tumultuous times like the Mexican Revolution in Latin America.
