The Great White Fleet's 1906 cruise to the Pacific is the story behind this view of American battleships off the Panamanian coast. President Theodore Roosevelt had ordered the sixteen-ship squadron, painted white and fitted for long-range steaming, to circle the globe, and the ships called at Panama on their way west. Roosevelt had a personal stake in the trip: he wanted to show that the United States could project naval power across both oceans, a point he pressed after the Panama Canal was begun. The fleet's arrival also marked the first time American battleships had sailed into the Pacific in strength.
