EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tranquil waters of Mombasa Harbour in Kenya, East Africa, an Arab dhow gracefully rests, its sails furled and rigging neatly arranged. The dhow, a traditional sailing vessel commonly used for transport along the eastern African coast, is a testament to the rich maritime history of this region. The glistening water reflects the image of the tree-lined coast, with its lush foliage providing a striking contrast to the wooden hull of the boat. The trees, with their branches reaching out towards the water, add a sense of serenity and calm to the scene. The Arab dhow, a symbol of ancient trade routes and cultural exchange, has been a vital mode of transportation in East Africa for centuries. Its elegant design, with lateen sails and a single mast, allows it to navigate the shallow waters of the Indian Ocean with ease. The dhow's simple yet effective construction is a marvel of traditional boatbuilding, reflecting the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of this region. The 1940s were an era of change and transition in Kenya, with the British colonial administration firmly in place. However, the traditional way of life, including the use of Arab dhows for transportation, continued to thrive in the coastal areas. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of Mombasa and the eastern African coast.
