Natal Harbour, South Africa - Early 1900s: A Glimpse into the Past This vintage image transports us back in time to the early 1900s and the beautiful Natal Harbour in South Africa. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the harbour's serene and bustling atmosphere during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of Natal, with its impressive fleet of ships anchored in the harbour. The intricate details of the vessels, from their sails to their rigging, reveal the skill and craftsmanship of the seafaring community that once thrived in this region. In the foreground, a lone figure can be seen holding a lantern, adding a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The lantern, a common tool during this era, highlights the importance of light in guiding ships safely to the harbour during the dark hours. The image also showcases the picturesque surroundings of the harbour, with its rolling hills, lush greenery, and the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. The natural beauty of the area is a stark contrast to the industrial hustle and bustle of the harbour, creating a harmonious blend of nature and progress. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, offering us a glimpse into the history and culture of Natal Harbour during the early 1900s. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in South African history, vintage photography, or maritime history.
