Few views of Havana's waterfront are as specific as this one, which pictures the yacht club itself rather than the city skyline or the Malecón. The Havana Yacht Club was a social institution for the city's wealthy families, and its clubhouse and marina reflected Cuba's prosperity in the decades between the two world wars. The photograph belongs to the Pan American Union collection, assembled by an organization that gathered images of the Americas to promote regional ties and cultural exchange. Its date range, between 1920 and 1950, places it in an era when Havana was a major port and a favored destination for American travelers.
