EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, an Arab dhow undergoes refitting at a quay side in Mumbai Harbour, India, in 1935. The hull of the traditional wooden boat lies propped up on sawn timbers, supported by a network of scaffolding that extends upwards towards the rigging. The intricate latticework of the scaffold frames creates a striking contrast against the textured, weathered surface of the dhow's hull. The quay, with its worn cobblestones and rusting ironwork, bears testament to the bustling maritime activity that once thrived in this historic port city. The image captures the essence of a time when Mumbai Harbour was a thriving hub of international trade, with ships from the Arabian Gulf regularly calling at its shores. The refitting process is well underway, with workers visible at various stages of the restoration. Some are busy sanding down the hull, while others are engaged in the intricate task of reattaching the rigging to the mast. In the background, the harbour teems with activity, with other boats bobbing gently on the water and the hustle and bustle of the quay side continuing unabated. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of calm and tranquility in the photograph, with the dhow's hull taking centre stage against the backdrop of the harbour. The image offers a glimpse into the rich maritime heritage of Mumbai, a city that continues to be shaped by its connection to the sea. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of traditional boats and the craftsmanship that goes into their restoration. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our maritime heritage and the role that historic ports like Mumbai continue to play in shaping our cultural landscape.
