EDITORS COMMENTS
Zonguldak, Turkey: A Nod to the Past - Miners of the Goelik Coalmine Nestled on the shores of the Black Sea, Zonguldak, formerly known as Heraclea, is the capital city of Zonguldak Province in Turkey's northern Black Sea region. With a rich history dating back to the Ottoman Empire, Zonguldak's significance lies in its role as an essential coal mining center. This evocative photograph captures the daily life of the miners and general staff at the Goelik Coalmine, a testament to the region's industrial heritage. The discovery of coal in Zonguldak dates back to the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, with extraction beginning during the Abdulmecid era. The miners, dressed in their protective gear, are seen working diligently in the sandy pit, their faces etched with determination and focus. The image is a poignant reminder of the hard labor and dedication required to extract the valuable resource that fueled Turkey's industrial growth. In the background, the vast expanse of the coal mine stretches out, a maze of tunnels and excavations carved into the earth. The mine, surrounded by the rugged terrain and the vast, tranquil sea, highlights the contrast between the raw power of nature and the industrious spirit of the miners. As the sun casts long shadows across the landscape, the photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history of Zonguldak and its coal mining industry. This image is a tribute to the men and women who toiled in the mines, contributing to the economic growth of the region and the Ottoman Empire.
