This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the bustling landing stage in Beirut, Lebanon, then known as Beyrouth, the country's capital city. The image presents a vibrant scene of activity along the waterfront, where boats of various sizes and shapes are moored, ready to transport people and goods across the water. In the foreground, a rower in traditional Lebanese attire is shown in the act of rowing a small boat, while in the background, a crowd of people gather, eagerly awaiting their turn to board. The scene is a testament to the importance of water transportation in this historic port city, which has served as a vital link between the Mediterranean Sea and the interior regions of Lebanon for centuries. The photograph also reveals the picturesque beauty of the Beirut waterfront, with its elegant architecture, tall palm trees, and the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean in the distance. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this bustling port city, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. This photograph is a valuable record of the rich maritime history of Beirut and Lebanon, and a reminder of the vital role that water transportation played in the region's economic and cultural development. It is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Lebanon, the Middle East, or the Mediterranean world.
