    I believe this photo is related to this incident, which would time this at April, 1914: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_occupation_of_Veracruz

    bior: Yes, agreed! Thanks for the information. We will expand the caption information for this image, and add a date as well.

    Great photo - Wrong caption. The buildings in background do not match Veracruz ca. 1914. USS Chester attacked Naval academy early morning (8-9 am) on 22 April 1914. One of the men seems to be looking for planes. There were no planes flying over Veracruz on that date.

    The device on the bridge to the left of the sailor holding the hand-flags is a mechanical semaphore.
