EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and beauty of the Indian Ocean at Beira, Mozambique, in the early 1900s. The rough sea, with its towering waves and white spray, crashes against the rocky shoreline, creating a sense of both awe and trepidation. In the background, the city of Beira, a major port in Portuguese East Africa, can be seen with its distinctive red-tiled buildings and whitewashed walls. The port and harbor, essential for the economic development of the region during the colonial era, are visible in the foreground, with their protective breakwater and moored ships. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sea was a vital lifeline for the people of Beira, connecting them to the wider world and the global trade network. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring relationship between the African coast and the sea, which continues to shape the lives and cultures of communities along the eastern coast of Africa.
