EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling coastal scene at Migiarro (Mgarr), Gozo, Malta, circa 1910. The tranquil blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea are dotted with ships and boats of various sizes, anchored or coming and going from the quay. The quayside is a hive of activity, with carts and their horse-drawn counterparts laden with goods being loaded and unloaded. The scene exudes a sense of productivity and community, as people go about their daily business. The small island of Gozo, located in the northern part of the Maltese archipelago, was a vital link in the Mediterranean trade network during the early 1900s. The island's strategic location made it an essential stop for ships transporting goods between Europe and North Africa. The quay at Migiarro was a hub of activity, with merchants, fishermen, and locals all coming together to buy, sell, and exchange goods. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of calm and serenity in the photograph. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, and the clear blue waters reflect the sky above. The boats and ships, with their sails billowing in the breeze, add a sense of timelessness to the image. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Malta and Gozo during the 1910s. It is a reminder of the importance of the sea and the role it played in shaping the lives of people in this beautiful Mediterranean island nation.
