A Glimpse into the Past: The Tranquil Harbour of Cranganor, India, 1671 This evocative image transports us back in time to the peaceful harbour of Cranganor, or Cowlang as it was then known, in southern India during the year 1671. The Portuguese, renowned for their maritime explorations and trading ventures, had established a settlement here, maintaining a post that overlooked the bustling harbour. The serene waters of the Arabian Sea gently lap against the shores, revealing a scene of tranquility and calm. The Portuguese fortress, perched atop a hill, stands guard over the town and harbour, its imposing walls and battlements a testament to the strategic importance of this location. The town itself is a thriving hub of activity, with boats of various sizes and shapes moored at the quay, their sails furled and masts leaning against the shore. Merchants and traders from far and wide have gathered here, exchanging goods and engaging in lively negotiations. The air is filled with the aroma of exotic spices, the sounds of haggling and the sight of colourful textiles and precious stones being traded. The Portuguese settlers, dressed in their distinctive attire, mingle with the local population, their presence a reminder of the far-reaching influence of European exploration and trade. The sun casts a golden glow over the scene, bathing the harbour in a warm, inviting light, as the day draws to a close and the promise of new opportunities beckons tomorrow. This print, dating back to 1671, offers a rare glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Cranganor, a town that continues to thrive as a significant trading centre in southern India.
