EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at the landing stage of Ashar Creek in Basra, Iraq, circa 1918. The creek, a major waterway in the city, served as a vital transportation hub during this period. The image showcases a collection of traditional canoes and boats, known as water taxis, moored at the quay, their sunshades providing respite from the intense Middle Eastern sun. The buildings along the quayside, with their intricate architectural details, reflect the rich cultural heritage of Basra, a city located in the eastern part of Iraq. The lush trees lining the banks of the creek add a touch of greenery, contrasting the sandy terrain that surrounds the area. The landing stage was a hive of activity, with people and goods constantly coming and going. The water taxis played a crucial role in transporting people and merchandise across the creek, connecting various parts of the city. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Basra, who relied on the waterways for their daily needs and livelihoods. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the history and culture of Basra during a time when the city was a thriving commercial center in the Middle East. The image is a reminder of the significance of water transportation in Iraq's history and the role it played in shaping the city's identity.
