EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Landing Jetty in Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the early 1910s. The British colonial rule had transformed Colombo into a major port city in the Indian Ocean, connecting the subcontinent with the wider world. The jetty, with its wooden planks extending into the shimmering blue waters, serves as a vital transport hub for the local population and travelers from afar. People in colorful attire can be seen milling about, exchanging goods and greetings, while boats of various sizes and shapes line up along the shore, ready to ferry passengers and cargo to their destinations. The Landing Jetty was a lifeline for the community, facilitating the movement of people and goods between the mainland and the islands, as well as providing essential services such as mail delivery and the sale of fresh produce. The British colonial administration oversaw the development and maintenance of the jetty, ensuring its efficient operation as an integral part of the British Indian Empire's maritime network. This photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant coastal scene of Colombo during a bygone era, when the Landing Jetty played a pivotal role in the daily lives of the local population and the broader regional trade. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history of maritime connections that have shaped the cultural and economic landscape of Sri Lanka and the Indian Ocean region.
