San Blas Islands, Republic of Panama — Native Dugout Canoes on Beach, May 1936
A scenic 1936 photograph of the San Blas Islands off Panama's Caribbean coast, showing traditional dugout canoes on a palm-shaded beach. Though catalogued with materials related to a WWII-era Army mine planter vessel, this pre-war image likely reflects a stop made during the ship's service supporting harbor defenses in the Panama Canal Zone.
