EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this lantern slide image of the bustling harbor in Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, circa 1890s. The photograph, titled "Tenerife, Santa Cruz, The Mole," showcases the picturesque harbor area with its stone jetty, aptly named "The Mole," extending into the tranquil waters. The harbor was a vital hub for the island's economy, facilitating trade and communication between Tenerife and the rest of the world. Santa Cruz, the capital city of Tenerife, is nestled in the northern part of the island and is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and natural beauty. The city's harbor, protected by natural breakwaters, has been a critical lifeline for the island since ancient times. The stone jetty, or "The Mole," was built to accommodate larger ships and enhance the functionality of the harbor. This lantern slide image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and daily life of Santa Cruz and Tenerife during the late 1800s. The Spanish influence is evident in the architecture of the buildings lining the harbor, adding to the charm and allure of this enchanting destination. The Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean, have long been a popular tourist destination due to their unique climate, stunning landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. This lantern slide image is a testament to the islands' enduring allure and the captivating history that continues to draw visitors from around the world.
