Summer Pier for Icebreakers, 1906
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph from the early 20th century, captured by an unknown photographer and preserved in the National Library of Russia. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the arrival of icebreakers at the summer pier on Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake by volume, located in Siberia, Russia. The pier, bustling with activity, is filled with boats and ships of various sizes, including the imposing SS Baikal, an icebreaker that dominates the scene. The railway and railway station are also visible in the background, symbolizing the connection between the remote Siberian region and the rest of the country. The pier served as a crucial communication hub during the summer months when the ice on the lake melted, allowing for the transportation of goods and people. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Russia's Transbaikal region, where the meeting of frontiers between land and water, as well as between different modes of transportation, created a unique and vibrant community. The image also highlights the importance of the postal service and the role it played in connecting people across vast distances. The photograph, titled "Izdanie DP Efimova" in Russian, is a still image that captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the past and the remarkable ways in which people and communities adapted to the challenges of their environment. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, offering a unique perspective on the history of transportation, communication, and life in Russia during the early 1900s.
