EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the lively atmosphere of St. George's Quay in Bermuda during the 1930s. The waterfront scene is bustling with activity as local men prepare their catch for trade. Fishermen, dressed in colorful attire, engage in animated discussions with one another, while children play nearby. The quayside is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of a thriving local community. The photograph, which dates back to the May of the 1930s, showcases the unique charm of St. George's, a historic town located on the eastern tip of Bermuda. The crystal-clear waters of the harbor reflect the vibrant colors of the boats and buildings, adding to the overall beauty of the scene. Interestingly, this photograph has an amusing history. Despite being taken from the same negative, it was published by two different card companies, resulting in the image being printed in opposite directions. While one company featured the photograph with the boats and buildings on the right, the other printed it with the harbor and quay on the left. This delightful quirk only adds to the charm of this timeless image. The 1930s were a significant period in Bermuda's history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the island's residents during that era. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and vibrant community that continues to thrive in St. George's today.
