EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking sea view of Accra, the capital city of Ghana, located on the Gold Coast of West Africa, circa 1924. The image was taken from Government House, providing a panoramic perspective of the coastal town. The tranquil blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the golden sandy beaches, dotted with the distinctive silhouettes of palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. In the distance, traditional fishing canoes, or "fetu," are scattered on the water, their sails raised, ready to set sail and cast their nets. The scene is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Ghana, with fishing being an essential part of the local economy and way of life. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the 1920s, a decade marked by significant cultural and social changes in Ghana and the wider African continent. The serene and picturesque view of Accra, with its stunning natural beauty, continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
