This print captures a significant moment in history at the Gatun Lock in Panama, circa 1915. The image showcases American submarine chasers navigating through the lock as part of their transport duties along the iconic Panama Canal. The sheer size and complexity of the lock is evident as these vessels make their way through, highlighting the engineering marvel that was created to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
