EDITORS COMMENTS
**Capt. C.C. McCarthy at League Island Naval Shipyard**
In February 1913, as tensions escalated in response to the Mexican Revolution, Captain C.C. McCarthy stood ready to lead his ship, MEADE, into action. This striking photograph captures the commander's confident demeanor as he prepares for deployment from Philadelphia's League Island Naval Shipyard.
Taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain of the Bain News Service in 1913, this portrait presents Captain McCarthy in all his authority. His crisp uniform and dignified posture exude a sense of purpose and leadership, reflecting the gravity of the situation unfolding across the border with Mexico.
As American marines mobilized to respond to the crisis, Capt. McCarthy's MEADE transport ship was poised for departure from League Island, bound for Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. This historic moment is preserved forever on film by Bain News Service, offering a glimpse into America's military preparedness during this tumultuous period of international relations.
