Trabzon Waterfront, Turkey (1902): A Glimpse into the Past of the Historic Ottoman City This photograph, taken in 1902, showcases the enchanting Trabzon waterfront in Turkey, then known as Trebizond or Trebizonde. Trabzon, located on the Black Sea coast, has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with influences from the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. In this image, we see a bustling quayside teeming with activity. The Platana, or the main quay, is lined with ships of various sizes, their sails billowing in the wind. The Ottoman Empire's influence is evident in the architecture of the buildings along the waterfront, with their distinctive tilework and arched windows. The quay's cobblestone pathways are filled with merchants and traders, exchanging goods and engaging in lively commerce. The Trapezium, a historic landmark and a symbol of the city, can be seen in the background. This fortress, built during the Byzantine period, has played a significant role in the city's defense and history. The lush greenery and the clear blue waters of the Black Sea create a picturesque backdrop, adding to the allure of this historic city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a glimpse into the vibrant and rich history of Trabzon, a city that continues to captivate visitors with its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
