EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tranquil scene of boats moored in Alexandria's West Bay, Egypt, circa 1907. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century. The boats, with their distinctive sails and wooden hulls, are reminiscent of a traditional Egyptian fishing fleet. The calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea reflect the clear blue sky, creating a serene and picturesque tableau. Alexandria, the pearl of the Mediterranean, is a vibrant and historic city located on the north coast of Egypt. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, it has been a melting pot of cultures for centuries, with influences from Greece, Rome, and the Arab world. The city's rich history is evident in its stunning architecture, including the iconic Pompey's Pillar and the Alexandria Library. The West Bay, or Baie des Embouchures, was once the heart of Alexandria's maritime activity. Fishing boats like those depicted in the photograph were a common sight along the waterfront, supplying fresh seafood to the city's residents and visitors. The scene is a testament to the enduring connection between Alexandria and the sea, which has shaped the city's identity for millennia. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, showcasing the timeless beauty of Alexandria and its relationship with the Mediterranean Sea. The image invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once sailed these waters and the lives they led, making it a valuable historical record and a treasure for anyone interested in the history of Egypt or the Mediterranean world.
