EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene scene of catamarans gracefully resting on the sandy shore of Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), around the turn of the 20th century. The British colonial influence is palpable in this image, with the distinct red roofs of colonial buildings visible in the background. The people in the photograph, dressed in European attire, are leisurely enjoying the picturesque coastline, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The catamarans, traditional boats native to the Indian Ocean, are a striking contrast against the backdrop of the modern colonial structures. Their elegant sails, billowing in the breeze, create a beautiful juxtaposition with the palm trees and rocks lining the beach. The clear, calm waters of the sea gently lap against the shore, creating gentle waves that lap at the hulls of the boats. The image transports us back in time to an era of colonial leisure and relaxation, where the British Empire's reach extended to the shores of Ceylon. The catamarans, once used primarily for fishing and transportation, were also adopted as recreational vessels for the colonial elite. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Sri Lanka and its connection to the sea.
