EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating moment in time, as captured in this vintage photograph from 1921, at the Port of Ostende, Belgium. The mailship ferry prepares to depart from the harbor, leaving a trail of smoke behind as it sets sail into the North Sea. Young boys, dressed in simple clothing, line the jetty, their eyes fixed on the departing vessel. Some cast their lines into the water, hoping to catch a fish, while others lean on the railings, watching the ships disappear into the horizon. A sense of nostalgia and wonder fills the air, as the simple pleasures of a bygone era come to life. The historical steam ship, with its tall funnels and distinctive shape, stands proud against the backdrop of the Belgian coastline. The bicycles nearby suggest that this scene was a common sight, a simple yet enjoyable pastime for the local community. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple joys of life and the rich history of Belgium's maritime heritage.
