Trabzon Harbour and Customs House, Trabzon, Turkey, 1898: A Scene of Historical Significance and Trade Prosperity This postcard image, taken in 1898, showcases the bustling Trabzon Harbour and Customs House in Turkey. Trabzon, the capital city of Trabzon Province, has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. It was strategically located on the historic Silk Road route, making it a vital trading hub between Iran, India, and the Caucasus. During the Ottoman period, Trabzon's importance grew significantly due to its thriving port. The Customs House, an imposing structure with its red-tiled roof and ornate facade, served as a gateway to the city, overseeing the flow of goods and people. The dock area, filled with ships from various nations, is a testament to the city's cosmopolitan character. The bay, dotted with boats and ships, reflects the tranquil waters, creating a picturesque scene. The mountains in the background add to the breathtaking beauty of the location. This postcard, captured by the skilled lens of Max Fruchtermann, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the historical significance and the economic prosperity of Trabzon during the late 19th century.
