Burma Burmese Dock Landing Myanmar P Ier Quay Side Rangoon Yangon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the harbor of Yangon, Myanmar (then known as Rangoon), in the 1910s. The image showcases the vibrant waterfront scene with its sprawling dock, pier, and quay side teeming with people, animals, and various modes of transportation. The dock area is a hive of activity, with sailors and porters loading and unloading goods from the ships. The Burmese people, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen going about their daily business, some carrying heavy loads on their heads or using carts and rickshaws to transport goods. The pier extends far into the harbor, with several ships anchored nearby, waiting to be unloaded. The quay side is bustling with activity, with vendors selling fresh produce and other wares to the crowds of people. The stage and landing areas are filled with passengers disembarking from boats and ships, eager to begin their journey inland. The natural beauty of the harbor is also on full display, with the clear blue water reflecting the sun's rays and the lush greenery of the surrounding area providing a stark contrast to the industrial activity taking place. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and vibrant daily life of Yangon during this era, making it a fascinating window into the past.
