EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Diamond Point Lighthouse, located at the entrance to the port of Calcutta, India. The lighthouse, built in the late 1800s, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Hooghly River, serving as a vital navigational aid for ships entering the bustling port city since its inception in circa 1860. The Diamond Point Lighthouse, with its distinctive diamond-shaped tower and red and white stripes, has been a beacon of hope and safety for seafarers for over a century. The lighthouse's historical importance lies in its role as a crucial navigational aid, guiding ships through the treacherous waters of the Hooghly River and ensuring the safe transport of goods and people to and from Calcutta. Calcutta, formerly known as the 'City of Palaces,' was once the capital of British India and a significant center of trade and commerce. The port of Calcutta played a pivotal role in India's colonial history, connecting the subcontinent to the world through maritime trade. The Diamond Point Lighthouse stands as a testament to this rich history, serving as a reminder of the vital role that maritime transport played in shaping India's past and present. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and historical significance. The Diamond Point Lighthouse continues to stand tall, a symbol of resilience and endurance, guiding ships through the waters of the Hooghly River and bearing witness to the ever-changing landscape of Calcutta.
