Third Class on Board the Kilwa - A Glimpse into 19th Century Travel
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, captured in 1886, takes us back to a bygone era of travel. On board the Kilwa, a ship sailing from Brindisi to Burma, we witness an intriguing scene unfolding on the deck. The image showcases passengers from different walks of life coming together in this shared space. In this bustling setting, our attention is drawn to a group of individuals enjoying their journey. A woman peacefully rests with her head gently leaning against her luggage while indulging in the aromatic smoke of a hubble-bubble hookah pipe. Her serene expression suggests contentment amidst the voyage's monotony. Meanwhile, other passengers can be seen scattered across the deck; some are sound asleep while others engage in conversation or simply observe their surroundings. The diversity among these travelers is evident as Indian and Arab men coexist alongside women from various backgrounds. The print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers insight into transportation during that period. It provides us with glimpses into third-class travel conditions where comfort was scarce but camaraderie prevailed. As we delve deeper into this monochrome masterpiece, it becomes clear that it serves as a window into history—a testament to human resilience and adaptability when faced with long journeys across vast oceans. This evocative image invites contemplation about how far we have come since then and reminds us of the enduring spirit of exploration that continues
