Mersin, Turkey - Central Street: A Glimpse into the Past of Turkey's Busy Port City (circa 1910s) This photograph transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling Central Street of Mersin, Turkey, during the 1910s. Mersin, located on the southeastern coast of Turkey, is now the site of the country's largest port. Although the port's impressive infrastructure is not visible in this image, it adds to the historical significance of this scene. The photograph showcases a lively street filled with various warehouses, their wooden structures weathered by the elements and time. The sacks piled high on the cobblestone street suggest the bustling commercial activity that once thrived here. The Zephyrion building, a prominent feature in the background, adds a sense of grandeur to the scene. The people in this photograph, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, add a human element to the image, making it a snapshot of daily life during that era. The horse-drawn carts and the man leading a donkey further emphasize the time period and the importance of transportation in moving goods around the city. This photograph is a testament to Mersin's rich history as a thriving port city, showcasing the bustling activity and the unique character of the area during the early 20th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of this fascinating city and its role in Turkey's economic development.
