Mother of Pearl Divers Attacked by a Shark, Tahiti (1885): A Glimpse into the Dangerous Past of Tahitian Pearl Diving This striking image captured in 1885 portrays a harrowing moment in the history of Tahitian pearl diving. The photograph, taken during the colonial era, depicts a group of Tahitian divers in traditional attire, surrounded by the clear, turquoise waters of the South Pacific. However, their tranquil scene is disrupted by the sudden appearance of a large shark, its jaws wide open, attacking one of the divers. The French colony, which had established a significant pearl industry in Tahiti during the late 1800s, relied heavily on the labor of local divers. The process of pearl diving was treacherous and dangerous, with divers often risking their lives to retrieve valuable mother-of-pearl shells from the depths of the ocean. Shark attacks were a constant threat, making every dive a potential life-threatening event. The photograph captures the moment of chaos and fear as the divers react to the shark's attack. One man is seen frantically swimming away from the predator, while another is in the process of being rescued by his fellow divers. The boats in the background are ready to assist, but it is clear that the situation is critical. Despite the risks, the divers continued their work, driven by the need to provide for their families and contribute to the growing pearl industry. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the dangerous past of Tahitian pearl diving and the courage and resilience of the men who made it their livelihood.
