1910rif. 55308Havana: American Photo Co. 1910. The Early American Presence at Guantanamo Bay An impressive view of sailors and marines from the United States' Atlantic Fleet assembled on the parade grounds of Deer Point Camp Guantanamo Bay. Well over five hundred officers seamen and marines are in formation with encampments on both sides of the grounds. In the background looking out into the harbor nineteen ships are visible in the water including the four listed on the photo: Minnesota New Hampshire Mississippi and Idaho. One camp building with a wide veranda is behind and to the left of the sailors. U.S. forces with their Cuban allies first occupied Guantanamo Bay in 1898 during the Spanish American War creating a forward-operating base in their effort to wrest Spanish control of the island. In 1903 the U.S. leased forty-five square miles of land and water at Guantanamo Bay from the newly-independent Cuban government and built the Deer Point Camp to support naval operations in the Caribbean. The American facilities at Guantanamo Bay are in use to this day. The American Photo Company advertised itself as "the best equipped commercial photographers in Cuba." It established a commercial network in Havana that distributed images of Cuba on a worldwide scale. This photo is rare.
