Summary

Description

English: The U.S. Navy gunboat USS Asheville (PG-21), awnings spread to combat the sun's heat, lies at anchor in the waters of the Panama Canal Zone, probably during one of her two tours with the special service squadron (1922-1927, 1929-1932). Note her tall stack, and tall masts (to support the antennae at the height necessary to extend the range of the primitive radio equipment in use at that time). The wind sail rigged aft provided some comfort for the crew below decks, especially in the tropics, in the days before forced draft ventilation.
