A U.S. Navy sailor captured this lively scene of a corrida de toros (bullfight) during a shore-liberty visit to Mexico in the early 1900s. Packed grandstands and a torero facing a charging bull illustrate a popular Mexican pastime witnessed firsthand by American servicemen touring Gulf and Caribbean ports during the era of the Great White Fleet. The photograph is part of a personal album kept by a crewman of the protected cruiser USS Columbia (C-12). Project: 218611
