EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Tjepiring Jetty in Semarang, North Java, Indonesia, circa 1908. The jetty, surrounded by the tranquil waters of the Dutch East Indies, once served as a vital connection between the bustling sugar factory company and the outside world. The wooden jetty, adorned with weathered timbers, stretches out into the water, providing a sturdy platform for the traditional boats that once docked there. The boats, with their distinctive sails and slender hulls, are reminiscent of a bygone era, a time when sail was the primary mode of transportation for cargo and people alike. The people in this photograph add a sense of human scale to the scene. They are engaged in various activities, from loading and unloading cargo to mending nets or simply watching the boats come and go. Their presence underscores the importance of the jetty as a vital link in the local community. The Tjepiring Jetty was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who built it. It allowed for the efficient delivery of sugar and other essential goods to and from the factory, ensuring the continued success of the company and the prosperity of the region. Today, the jetty may no longer serve its original purpose, but it remains a cherished piece of history, a reminder of the rich cultural and industrial heritage of Semarang and the Dutch East Indies.
