EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the grandeur of the Ship Buffet & Bar, located in the vibrant city of Durban, Natal Province, South Africa. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, an era of elegance and sophistication. The Ship Buffet & Bar, a part of the larger Ship Hotel, is prominently displayed on the corner of a bustling city street. The brick building, adorned with intricate brickwork and large, arched windows, exudes an air of opulence and grandeur. Two tall, sturdy pillars, crowned with ornate capitals, flank the entrance, adding to the impressive architectural design. The sign above the entrance, with its bold, cursive letters, proudly announces the presence of the Ship Buffet & Bar. The image also captures a group of men, some of whom appear to be of Indian descent, gathered outside, adding to the diverse and multicultural atmosphere of the city. At the helm of this establishment was Harry Pulham, a proprietor who likely took great pride in providing his patrons with an unforgettable dining and drinking experience. The Ship Buffet & Bar was undoubtedly a popular gathering place for locals and travelers alike, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Durban and the Natal Province during the early 1900s. It invites us to imagine the stories and memories that were created within its walls and invites us to appreciate the beauty and charm of a bygone era.
