Description 1916 photograph of Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. Originally accompanied by this image. Caption: "The Naval Base at Guantánamo ‧ By a treaty with Cuba that was signed in 1903, the United States secured a naval base with a fine land-locked harbor at Guantánamo, on the southern end of the island forty miles east of Santiago, for which it pays, $2000 annually. Here throughout the winter months the Atlantic Fleet is concentrated, engaged in fleet manœuvres and target practice. This is the nearest naval base to the Panama Canal on the Atlantic side, but is not an ideal location as it is open to attack by land. Admiral Knight urges a main base at Culebra, with Guantánamo as a secondary base."
