EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Antwerp Harbour in Belgium during the turbulent years of the First World War, between 1914 and 1918. The image reveals a tranquil yet poignant tableau, as the vast expanse of water is dotted with the masts and hulls of interned ships. The harbour, a vital hub of global trade and transportation prior to the war, now stands still, its purpose temporarily suspended by the conflict raging around it. The First World War brought unprecedented disruption to international maritime commerce, and Antwerp Harbour, one of Europe's busiest ports, was no exception. As the war broke out, Allied and neutral ships were forced to seek refuge in the harbor, many of which were subsequently interned by the occupying German forces. The photograph offers a glimpse into this unique moment in history, where the world's maritime commerce came to a standstill, leaving ships and their crews stranded in the heart of the harbor. The serene waters of the harbor, once teeming with the constant activity of cargo ships, passenger liners, and fishing boats, now reflect the stillness and uncertainty of the war time. The docks, once bustling with activity, are now empty, save for the occasional German military presence. The boats moored at the docks appear to be in a state of suspended animation, their sails furled and their engines silent. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the profound impact of war on the world's commercial and maritime activities, and the way in which the natural beauty of a harbor can be transformed by the inexorable march of history. The image invites us to reflect on the past, and to appreciate the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
