Assisted Boatmen Constantinople Crossing Ferries Ferry Horn Istanbul Jetty Parasol Quay Rowers Typical Veil Veiled 1925

EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating jetty scene on the historic Golden Horn in Istanbul, Turkey, unfolds in this evocative photograph from 1925. The serene waters of the Golden Horn, a natural harbor that has played a crucial role in the city's history since ancient times, are dotted with traditional ferry boats. The sun casts a golden glow over the scene, adding an ethereal quality to the moment. In the foreground, veiled women, their parasols shielding them from the sun, are assisted by boatmen into the waiting ferries. The boatmen, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully maneuver their boats, their strong arms and rowing oars a testament to the enduring tradition of water transportation in this vibrant city. The quaint jetty, with its worn wooden planks and timeworn charm, exudes a sense of history and tradition. The scene transports us back to a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of daily life were cherished. The Golden Horn, once known as the Horn of the Moon in ancient times, has been a focal point of Istanbul's rich history. It was the site of Constantinople's ancient port, and the city's commercial and cultural hub. Today, it continues to be an essential part of Istanbul's transportation network, connecting the European and Asian sides of the city. This photograph is a beautiful representation of a typical jetty scene on the Golden Horn, a scene that has remained unchanged for generations. It is a testament to the enduring traditions and history of Istanbul, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
