This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of elegance and romance, where the rhythm of the sea and the hustle of the harbour intertwined. The image showcases a bustling harbour, with a variety of boats and vessels anchored or coming and going. At the heart of the scene, a grand steamer dominates the view, its smokestacks billowing white plumes into the sky. The intricate details of the ship's design, from its ornate railings to its meticulously painted hull, are a testament to the engineering prowess of the time.

The passengers on board, dressed in Victorian and Edwardian attire, add a sense of nostalgia and charm to the scene. The lanterns on the dock illuminate the area, casting a warm, inviting glow over the harbour. The photograph also reveals the picturesque town of Boulogne beyond the harbour, with its colourful houses and cobblestone streets. The natural beauty of the coastline, with its rugged cliffs and crashing waves, adds to the allure of this timeless image. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a reminder of the enduring connection between people and the sea. Whether you're an history buff, a lover of the sea, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a bygone era, this image of Boulogne Harbour, France, early 1900s is sure to captivate and inspire.
