EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1910s, showcases the daily life of Burmese pearl fishermen in the Mergui Archipelago, now known as the Myeik Archipelago, in Myanmar (formerly Burma). The Mergui Archipelago, located in the Andaman Sea, is a collection of over 800 islands, renowned for its rich pearl beds. In this image, a traditional Burmese fishing boat, skillfully maneuvered by its crew, is anchored near the shore. The boat, with its distinctive curved prow and ornate decorations, reflects the unique design elements of the region's maritime heritage. The fishermen, dressed in traditional Burmese attire, are seen busy at work, diving into the crystal-clear waters to collect pearls from the oysters. The process of pearl diving was a labor-intensive and dangerous occupation, with divers often holding their breath for several minutes at a time to reach the depths where pearl-bearing oysters were found. The pearls, highly prized for their beauty and rarity, were an essential source of income for the local communities. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the fishermen and their families who lived and worked in the Mergui Archipelago during the early 20th century. The image captures the essence of a time when the sea and its bountiful resources played a central role in the lives of the people who called this beautiful archipelago home.
