EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Docks of the Boulevard Maritime in Dakar, Senegal, circa 1910. The capital city of Senegal, then a French colony known as French West Africa (AOF), is depicted as a vibrant and dynamic port town, with the Atlantic Ocean serving as a backdrop. The image showcases a multitude of ships and boats of various sizes and shapes, anchored or in motion, as they come and go from the docks. The ships, with their sails billowing in the wind, add a sense of adventure and exploration to the scene. The boats, filled with local fishermen and their catch, represent the vital role that fishing plays in the daily life of the Senegalese people. The dockworkers, dressed in their traditional Senegalese attire, can be seen loading and unloading cargo from the ships, demonstrating the importance of the port in facilitating trade between Africa and other parts of the world. The Boulevard Maritime, with its grand architecture and European influence, stands as a testament to the colonial era, while the African boats and people going about their daily activities remind us of the rich cultural heritage of Senegal. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the history of Dakar as a thriving port city and a bridge between Africa and the rest of the world.
