EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to Tampa in 1880. The image showcases the bustling Tampa pier, where the magnificent steamship Olivette has just docked. The Olivette stands tall and proud, its smokestack billowing with remnants of a long journey at sea. Surrounding the ship are other vessels, their masts reaching towards the sky like an intricate web of ropes and sails. These ships represent a thriving maritime industry that played a crucial role in shaping Florida's history. The piers and wharves are abuzz with activity as workers unload cargo from the Olivette onto waiting railcars. This scene is a testament to Tampa's strategic location as a hub for shipping and trade during this era. In the background, we catch glimpses of railroad tracks that connect Tampa to other parts of the United States, further enhancing its significance as a transportation hub. The photo captures not only a moment frozen in time but also tells an untold story of ambition, progress, and connection. It reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern-day commerce in this vibrant city
