I know I have posted several other photos of the Hotel Washington Pool
in the past, but I couldn't resist at least one more. This scan is
from a really great 9" x 7" original photo that I purchased
recently. When zooming in on the scan, there are so many details
to see. I am not sure what it is that fascinates me about
this grand old pool. Maybe it is because I walked around in what
is left of it a few years ago on a trip back home. It is really
something how this pool was filled and the water recalculated by pumping
water from Limon Bay in and out. This was quite a pool! Note the
very high sliding board. Also, if you can make out the
little boy swinging from ring to ring across the center of the pool on a
trapeze type apparatus.
Long
live the memories of our Canal Zone life.
