EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the rare and elegant Mtepe dhow off the coast of Mombasa, Kenya, in East Africa during the 1920s. The Mtepe dhow, a traditional Swahili sailing boat, is a sight to behold with its distinctive curved bow and elegant sails. The boat, which is believed to have originated from the Lamu Archipelago in Kenya, was once a common sight along the East African coastline, but is now considered a rare find. The photograph, taken in 1923, offers a glimpse into the past when the Mtepe dhow was an essential mode of transport for the local communities. These boats were used to transport goods such as fish, grain, and other commodities between the coastal towns and islands. The Mtepe dhow was also used for fishing and as a means of transportation for passengers. The serene waters of the Indian Ocean provide the perfect backdrop for this beautiful boat, which seems to be gracefully gliding along the waves. The clear blue sky and the sun casting a golden glow on the water add to the idyllic scene. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Swahili people, who have lived along the East African coast for centuries. The Mtepe dhow is a reminder of the rich maritime history of East Africa and the important role that traditional boats played in the lives of the local communities. Today, efforts are being made to preserve and promote the Mtepe dhow and other traditional boats, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and significance of these unique watercraft.
