EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling waterside scene of Mexico City's Canal de la Viga in the 1910s. The canal, located in the Tlatelolco area, was once a vital waterway for transportation in the city. In this image, we see traditional pole-propelled open barges filled to capacity with passengers and goods, skillfully maneuvered by polemen. The shallow waterway was an essential alternative to the congested streets during a time when Mexico City's population was rapidly expanding. The Canal de la Viga was an integral part of Mexico City's transportation network, connecting various parts of the city with the Tlatelolco Market, one of the most significant commercial hubs during that era. The barges were an affordable and efficient means of transport for both people and merchandise, making them an indispensable part of daily life. Unfortunately, by the 1940s, the canal was filled in to make way for the Calzada de la Viga, a major road that improved vehicular traffic in the area. Today, only remnants of the canal remain, serving as a reminder of Mexico City's rich history and its evolution from a water-based transportation system to a modern metropolis. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of Mexico City during the 1910s, as well as the ingenuity and resilience of its people in adapting to the city's ever-changing landscape.
