EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of The Narrows in St. John's, Newfoundland, USA. The Narrows, the only entrance to St. John's Harbour, is a narrow channel that lies between the Southside and Signal hills. Measuring a minimum depth of 11 metres and at its narrowest point near Chain Rock, a mere 61 metres wide, this natural formation has played a pivotal role in the defense of the city since the early days of piracy and settlement in 1655. The Narrows' strategic location has made it an essential guardian of St. John's, safeguarding the city from intruders and threats throughout history, including during World War II. This photograph, estimated to date back to circa 1900, captures the essence of the Narrows' grandeur and the awe-inspiring power of nature. Box 160, part of the Modern New York collection in the Boswell archive, houses this remarkable image. It serves as a testament to the rich history and natural wonders that have shaped the landscape of St. John's and Newfoundland, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and importance of our natural defenses.
