EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the arrival of the Karatas Ferry "Guzel Izmir" (meaning "Good Izmir" in Turkish) at the bustling ferry station in Izmir, also known as Smyrna, Turkey, in 1936. The ferry, with its distinctive smokestacks and ornate Ottoman-inspired design, cuts through the calm waters of the Aegean Sea, leaving a trail of mist in its wake. The coastline of Izmir, with its picturesque waterfront and historic buildings, forms a stunning backdrop to the scene. The dock, teeming with activity, is a hive of transport and commerce, with people and goods moving to and fro. The skyline of Izmir rises in the background, a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The Ottoman Empire once ruled over this region, and the influence of its grand architectural style is evident in the buildings along the waterfront. The Karatas Ferry Company, founded in 1856, played a crucial role in the transportation of people and goods between the ports of Turkey and the Greek Islands. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period of history when Izmir was a thriving port city and a hub of maritime activity.
