Several sailors are visible on the right side of the street, possibly from the USS Milwaukee, gathered near a building. An early model automobile is driving down the street, and storefronts with signs line the roadway.During this time, Panama was a strategically significant location, especially with the Panama Canal's recent completion in 1914. The presence of U.S. Navy personnel underscores the ongoing American military and economic interests in the region, as the canal was vital for naval and commercial shipping.Visible text in the photo includes signage for a "Paris Bar." The caption reads: "Panama City 1916."
