EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, Hawaiian cattle farming comes to life as a scene of both labor and determination unfolds. The image portrays a group of swimming cattle, attempting to make a last-ditch effort to escape from being transported to another island. The cattle, with their powerful limbs, paddle through the crystal-clear waters, their determined expressions evident as they try to evade the encroaching boat. The boat, a sturdy inter-island steamer, pulls steadily towards the animals, its purpose clear: to round up the cattle and transport them to their new homes. The scene is reminiscent of a wild west cattle drive, but with a tropical twist. The lush green landscape of Hawaii provides a striking backdrop to the action, with palm trees and rolling hills visible in the distance. A horse and rider can be seen on the boat, ready to help wrangle the cattle as they are brought aboard. The rider, dressed in traditional Hawaiian attire, expertly guides the horse as they prepare to lasso any cattle that resist the journey. The scene is a testament to the hard work and resilience of the Hawaiian farmers, who relied on cattle farming as a vital part of the local economy. Despite the cattle's best efforts to escape, they are eventually herded aboard the steamer, marking the end of their journey for the time being. The photograph captures a moment in time when the traditional practices of Hawaiian cattle farming intersected with the modern technology of inter-island transportation, resulting in a unique and fascinating scene.
