EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the City of Newcastle, an Ellerman-Hall Line steamship, at Margil Wharf in Basra, Iraq, around 1933. The City of Newcastle, a proud addition to the Ellerman-Hall Line's fleet, is shown gracefully docked at the quay, its tall smokestacks billowing plumes of steam into the sky. The waterfront bustles with activity as local residents and workers go about their daily tasks. Men can be seen loading and unloading cargo from the ship, while others stand at the edge of the quay, watching the comings and goings with curiosity. Basra, located in the southeastern part of Iraq, was an important trading hub during the 1930s, and the Margil Wharf was a key point of embarkation and disembarkation for both people and goods. The City of Newcastle, with its powerful engines and impressive size, would have been a familiar sight to those waiting to board or to see off loved ones. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steamships were the primary mode of long-distance transportation and the world was more connected than ever before. The City of Newcastle, with its proud presence at Margil Wharf, stands as a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the enduring allure of the open sea.
