EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of St. Helier Harbour in Jersey during the late Victorian era of the 19th century. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of elegance and charm. The harbour, bustling with activity, is filled with a variety of ships and sailing vessels, their sails billowing in the wind. The intricate details of the ships' rigging and the distinctive shapes of their hulls are beautifully captured in this vintage photograph. The harbour's docks, lined with cranes and warehouses, are filled with the sounds of activity as goods are loaded and unloaded. In the foreground, a man can be seen carrying a lantern, adding to the sense of atmosphere and mystery. The channel leading out to the open sea is dotted with small islands, their green foliage contrasting sharply with the blue water and grey skies. The scene is one of industry and commerce, yet there is a sense of tranquility and beauty that pervades the image. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of Jersey and the importance of its harbour during the Victorian era. The Edwardian and early 20th century saw significant growth in the port, with the construction of new docks and the expansion of shipping lines. This photograph offers a glimpse into that history, a window into the past that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
