Alexander Wetmore - Photo Album, Panama, 1959, Vol. 2

Did you know that over 500 rivers span the length and width of Panama? Traveling across Panama's rivers was an important part of how researchers, like Alexander Wetmore, explored the country. Wetmore, an ornithologist and former Smithsonian Secretary, went on expeditions in Panama annually--and traveled along rivers to do it, as documented in this 1959 photo album.
