Charter Fishing Boat 'Playa Suave' Anchored in Acapulco Bay, Mexico, 1949
This 1949 photograph shows the charter fishing boat 'Playa Suave' anchored in a bay along Mexico's Pacific coast, likely near Acapulco, following a successful sport-fishing excursion. Deep-sea fishing charters such as this were a popular attraction for American visitors to Mexico's resort towns in the postwar era. The photograph is part of a personal album documenting travels associated with General Jonathan M. Wainwright. Project: 218339
