EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the picturesque Public Landing in New London, Connecticut, USA. The serene waterfront scene is dominated by the impressive steamship ferry Orient, which gracefully sits at the dock, its tall, billowing funnel releasing plumes of steam into the crisp morning air. The Orient, a testament to the era's engineering prowess, was a common sight in the bustling harbor of New London during the early 1900s. New London, a historic seaport city, was an essential transportation hub during this time, connecting the New England region to other parts of the country via the waterways. The steamships, like the Orient, played a vital role in facilitating travel and commerce, making New London an important stop for both passengers and cargo. The Public Landing, with its beautiful views of the Thames River and the surrounding cityscape, was a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of New London during the early 1900s. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore, feel the cool breeze off the water, and sense the excitement and anticipation of a new day in this charming Connecticut town. The Orient and the Public Landing stand as enduring symbols of New London's storied past, inviting us to explore the history and stories that unfolded on these shores over a century ago.
