EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling Harbour of Dakar, Senegal in the 1910s. The image showcases the SS Tibet, a steamship proudly anchored in the foreground, its tall smokestacks billowing white plumes against the clear blue sky. The harbor teems with activity, with smaller boats and fishing vessels dotted around the SS Tibet, while the city of Dakar and its vibrant buildings can be seen in the background. At the time, Dakar was the administrative center of French West Africa, and its harbor was a vital hub for the French colonial empire. Ships from all corners of the world would dock here, bringing goods, people, and ideas to this bustling African port city. The SS Tibet, with its distinctive silhouette, would have been a frequent visitor, carrying passengers and cargo between Senegal and other parts of the world. The coastline of Dakar, with its rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, can be seen in the distance, providing a picturesque backdrop to the harbor scene. The Atlantic Ocean stretches out beyond, its deep-blue waters reflecting the sun's rays. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the energy and excitement of a thriving harbor city on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
