EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling streets of Jakarta, Indonesia, lies the historic Molenvliet Canal, a tranquil waterway that once played a vital role in the transportation of timber from the southern part of Batavia. Dating back to the 1920s, this canal was the brainchild of Chinese Captain Phoa Beng Gam, the second Chinese captain after Souw Beng Kon, who saw the need for an efficient means of transporting the abundant wood resources from the outskirts of the city to its heart. The Molenvliet Canal, which divides Jalan Gajah Mada and Jalan Hayam Wuruk, is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Jakarta. In this image, we see the canal teeming with life, as traditional wooden barges laden with lumber make their way along the waterway. The women on the banks of the canal add a touch of color and activity, as they go about their daily chores, washing clothes and hanging them out to dry. The Molenvliet Canal was an essential part of Batavia's transportation system during the colonial era, and its construction marked a significant milestone in the city's development. Today, it stands as a reminder of Jakarta's rich past and the important role that waterways played in shaping its history. This evocative photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era and the daily life of Jakarta's residents during that time.
