1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Tanga Harbour, Tanzania in the 1920s Description: This evocative photograph captures Tanga Harbour in British East Africa (now Tanzania) during the 1920s. The image portrays a bustling coastal scene, with the calm waters of the Indian Ocean gently lapping against the shore. Tanga Harbour, a significant port city, played a crucial role in the transportation of goods between the African continent and other parts of the world during the colonial era. In the foreground, a traditional African fishing boat, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, rests on the sandy beach. The boat's presence underscores the rich cultural heritage of the local population and their long-standing connection to the sea. Further out in the harbor, various ships and boats can be seen anchored, waiting to embark on their next journey. These vessels, some with distinctive British flags flying high, symbolize the global reach of colonialism and the intricate web of trade and commerce that connected different parts of the world during this period. The image offers a glimpse into the history of Tanga and its role as a vital coastal hub during the colonial era. The photograph not only captures the beauty of the harbor but also the complexity of the interactions between different communities and the larger historical context of the time.
