EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment the USS Nevada (BB-36), an American battleship of the Colorado-class, gracefully passes through the Caillard Cut of the Panama Canal in the early 1920s. The USS Nevada, commissioned in 1914, was the third ship to bear the name of the Silver State. With a standard displacement of 27,500 long tons, the battleship was a formidable presence on the high seas. The Panama Canal, an engineering marvel of the 20th century, was completed in 1914, significantly reducing the time and distance for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Caillard Cut, a narrow section of the canal, required the assistance of tugboats to guide large vessels safely through its waters. In this image, the USS Nevada, proudly flying the American flag, is accompanied by a tugboat on each side, expertly navigating the waters of the Caillard Cut. The rocks and steep cliffs that line the canal's edges add a sense of scale and drama to the scene, emphasizing the impressive size and power of the battleship. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a period of economic prosperity and cultural growth in the United States. This photograph is a testament to the country's industrial might and its ability to navigate the global stage. The USS Nevada's passage through the Panama Canal symbolizes the United States' commitment to maintaining a strong naval presence and its role as a global power during this era. This photograph, with its rich history and captivating imagery, is an essential addition to any collection of maritime or American history.
