Arrival Back Ground Battle Ship Cruz Joyous Leaving Prison Relieve Relieving Vera
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of relief and jubilation as jackies, or sailors, of the US Navy depart from Vera Cruz, Mexico, aboard boatloads, in 1863. The arrival of the US Army, seen in the background, had brought an end to their long and arduous duty guarding the port city during the American intervention in Mexico. The white building in the foreground is the prison on the Island of San Ulano, a testament to the challenges and dangers faced by these soldiers during their stay. With the Army now in charge, the jackies could finally look forward to joining their battleships and continuing their service to their country. This historical image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the US military's past, as well as the camaraderie and spirit of the men who served during that time.
