American Military Naval Officer Tank Vehicle Sea Trials

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event during recent manoeuvres at Panama. The USS Wyoming's impressive hydroland tank, aptly named "The Ocean Tank" is seen gracefully cutting through the water at an astonishing speed of 14 knots. This amphibious marvel showcases the ingenuity of American military engineering in the early twentieth century. Equipped with a formidable French 75 mm gun mounted on its bow, this tank represents a fusion of land and sea capabilities. Its presence on board the USS Wyoming highlights the navy's commitment to adaptability and versatility in combat situations. Taken on March 3rd, 1924, by Central News, this monochrome photograph exudes a sense of historical significance. It transports us back to an era when naval officers pushed boundaries and tested new technologies during sea trials. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Europeana Photography's mission to preserve such invaluable moments from our past. It serves as a testament to human innovation and dedication towards creating powerful military vehicles that could traverse both land and sea. Let this remarkable snapshot be a reminder that even amidst turbulent times, there will always be those who strive for progress and seek solutions beyond conventional boundaries – just like "The Ocean Tank" did nearly a century ago.
