EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling river scene of Yangon, Myanmar (then known as Rangoon, Burma), circa 1910s. The Yangon or Hlaing River, a significant waterway in the city, is teeming with activity. A paddlesteamer steamer, with its distinctive paddlewheel at the rear, dominates the scene as it docks at the quayside. The quay, with its mooring posts and jetty, is filled with a flotilla of small boats, ready to transport passengers and goods to and from the ships anchored in the harbor. The wide river is dotted with ferries, providing an essential mode of transport for the local population. Ships of various sizes and shapes can be seen in the background, adding to the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of the scene. The tranquil waters of the river contrast sharply with the hustle and bustle of the surrounding activity, creating a captivating tableau of life along the waterfront. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Yangon, a city that has long been a melting pot of diverse influences. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this bustling river scene over a century ago.
