The Snapshots in Time Collection
Panama Canal Zone Album Page: Administration Building, Colon Street Scene, Port Captain's Office, and Palm-Lined Plaza, WWII Era
Four snapshots from a WWII-era photo album capture daily scenes of the Panama Canal Zone: an administration building, a bustling commercial street in Colon, the Panama Railroad's Port Captain's office, and a palm-lined city plaza. Such images document the strategically vital, U.S.-administered zone that safeguarded the Panama Canal during the war. Project: 218445
