Please see photos. This photograph features a tall, white lighthouse that is identified as the Gatun Lighthouse located in Panama. Three individuals dressed in what appears to be US Navy uniforms are visible on the left side of the image, standing near the lighthouse. The background includes several structural components such as pillars, suggesting an industrial or naval setting. The open, grassy area around the lighthouse enhances the prominence of the structure.Gatun Lighthouse is a crucial navigational aid near the Gatun Locks of the Panama Canal, which were opened to ship traffic in 1914. This location is significant due to its role in global maritime trade, controlling the flow of ships between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The soldiers in the photograph likely served on the USS Idaho during their trips to Panama, providing a connection to US naval operations and the strategic importance of the Panama Canal in the early 20th century.
