Taken from the bow of the passenger vessel Corsair, this 1949 photograph shows two men on the ship's foredeck with a Mexican Pacific coast resort town, likely Acapulco, rising on the hillside beyond. The image comes from a photo album associated with General Jonathan M. Wainwright IV, the WWII commander famed for his defense of Corregidor and his subsequent years as a Japanese prisoner of war. Following his 1945 liberation and hero's welcome home, Wainwright's postwar years included travel and public appearances; this photograph likely captures a recreational sea voyage taken in the years after his ordeal.
