EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the harbor of Sur, also known as the ancient city of Tyre, in Lebanon, as it appeared in the late 1800s. The photograph, taken from the sea, showcases the natural beauty and historical significance of this ancient port city. The calm, turquoise waters of the Mediterranean gently lap against the rugged shoreline, revealing the intricate details of the native ships moored in the harbor. These traditional vessels, with their distinctive sails and slender hulls, have been a hallmark of the region's maritime heritage for centuries. The ruins of the ancient city of Tyre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be seen in the background, rising majestically from the rocky shoreline. The city, which dates back to around 3000 BC, is renowned for its rich history and cultural significance. Its ancient walls, temples, and palaces have stood the test of time, bearing witness to the many civilizations that have shaped the region's history. The harbor of Sur has played a crucial role in the city's history, serving as a vital trading hub and a strategic military stronghold. The natural harbor, protected by the breakwater, has enabled the city to thrive as a center of commerce and culture, connecting it to the wider Mediterranean world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment of tranquility and beauty in the history of Sur and Tyre. The native ships, the calm waters, and the ancient ruins all come together to create a scene that is both timeless and captivating.
