Change Dhow Dhows Kenya Leaving Mombasa Wind Winds 1923 Monsoon


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of Dhows leaving Mombasa, Kenya, in East Africa during a change of monsoon winds. Taken in 1923, this image transports us back to the vibrant maritime history of the region. The scene is filled with an array of graceful dhows sailing across the water, their sails billowing in the wind. These traditional wooden boats have been used for centuries as a primary mode of transport along the African coast. The photograph beautifully showcases their elegant design and craftsmanship. Mombasa, known for its bustling port and rich cultural heritage, serves as a backdrop to this intriguing spectacle. The city's iconic architecture can be seen on the horizon, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty surrounding it. The change in monsoon winds adds an element of drama to this already picturesque scene. As these powerful gusts blow through, they guide these vessels on their journey across vast seas towards distant shores. This print from The On Call in Africa Collection by Mary Evans Picture Library allows us to witness a moment frozen in time - a snapshot capturing both the tranquility and adventure that defined life on these waters nearly a century ago. It serves as a reminder of our enduring connection with nature and our shared history as seafaring beings.
