Dhow Kenya Mombasa Rare 1923


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare sight of a Mtepe dhow off the coast of Mombasa, Kenya in East Africa. Taken in 1923, this image transports us back to the vibrant and bustling maritime culture that thrived during the 1920s. The Mtepe dhow, with its distinctive design and craftsmanship, stands tall against the backdrop of the sparkling sea. The Mtepe dhow was an essential mode of transport for coastal communities in Kenya during that time. These traditional sailing vessels played a crucial role in connecting different regions along the East African coast. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the salty breeze and hear the gentle lapping of waves against its wooden hull. The beauty lies not only in capturing this rare moment but also in preserving a piece of history through photography. The On Call in Africa Collection has done an exceptional job by presenting us with such a remarkable visual record from their archives. Whether you are fascinated by maritime history or simply drawn to breathtaking scenes from around the world, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and highlights how transportation on water has shaped societies throughout time.
