A day's catch of sailfish is hoisted for photographs on a Mexican beach, circa 1949, at a resort identified by a sign as 'Playa Suave.' Deep-sea sportfishing along Mexico's Pacific coast, particularly around Acapulco, became a popular pastime for American visitors—including military officers and dignitaries—in the years following World War II. This image comes from a personal photo album attributed to General Jonathan Wainwright, documenting his travels and leisure activities in the postwar period. Project: 218339
