Description: An original antique real photo postcard (RPPC) of Panama, acquired as part of a large collection of early Panama photographs. Type & Size: A 5.5x3.5" original photograph.Condition: Original to the era and in good to fair antique condition. Please see photos. This photo features a large group of US Navy sailors sitting on bleachers at a sporting or entertainment event in Panama. The sailors are dressed in standard uniforms and appear to be part of a "rooting party" or cheering section, possibly for a baseball game or other competition. The structure shown is wooden and the scene is captured in bright daylight.The presence of the Atlantic Fleet in Panama indicates a significant US Naval deployment in the area, likely linked to the strategic importance of the Panama Canal. During the early 20th century, the canal was a critical military and trade route, and the Atlantic Fleet's presence would have been essential for safeguarding American interests in the region.Text in the photo: "ATLANTIC FLEET ROOTING PARTY" is clearly visible at the bottom, identifying the group of sailors and their purpose at the event. There are no identifiable names or titles of individuals present in the photo.
