EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional fishing life in Galle, Sri Lanka during the early 1910s. The image features a catamaran fishing boat, a common sight along the coast of this beautiful island nation in the Indian Ocean. The boat, with its distinctive Lankan design and style, is being raised on the sandy shore as the sun begins to rise over the tranquil waters. The fisherfolk of Galle have been practicing their ancient craft for generations, relying on the sea to provide for their families. The catamaran, with its twin hulls and raised sails, is an efficient design for navigating the shallow waters and withstanding the strong monsoon winds. The scene is one of quiet determination as the fishermen work together to raise the boat from the water, preparing it for another day at sea. The soft morning light filters through the mist, casting a golden glow over the boat and the surrounding landscape. The peaceful atmosphere is a stark contrast to the frenetic activity that will soon follow as the fishermen set out to catch their daily catch. This photograph is a testament to the enduring tradition of fishing in Galle, Sri Lanka. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler way of life. The boat, with its raised sail and the promise of a new day on the horizon, serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the fisherfolk and their connection to the sea.
