EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the bustling energy of Goderich Beach in Sierra Leone unfolds before us. Dating back to the 1980s, this image captures a moment in time when the fishing village was still a thriving hub of activity. The pristine sandy beach, dotted with palm trees, is filled with a diverse crowd of people, all eagerly awaiting the return of the fishing boats from the deep blue sea. Fishermen from the nearby Fante community, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen among the crowd, their faces etched with the hard work and determination that comes with a life spent at sea. Infants play in the shallow waters, their laughter mingling with the sound of the crashing waves and the chatter of the adults. The palm trees that line the coast provide a picturesque backdrop to the scene, their shadows stretching long and wide across the sand. The simple beauty of this moment in time stands in stark contrast to the modern tourist resort that Goderich Beach has become today. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and daily life of the people of Sierra Leone during the 1980s. It serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the natural world, the community, and the rhythm of life that once defined this vibrant West African fishing village.
