Additional Details:
The photograph shows a crowd of tourists from the cruising steamer "Laurentic," viewing the Culebra Cut at its deepest point, and the numerous slides that have developed in that vicinity. Thousands of tourists, mostly Americans, are being brought to the isthmus by every steamer to see the country and the canal. The umbrellas so much in evidence are sun shades and not for protection against rain, which seldom falls at this season of the year
