EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Bridgetown's Carlisle Bay Harbour in Barbados during the early 1910s. The image showcases the picturesque blend of architecture and natural beauty that characterized the West Indies during this era. In the foreground, the historic Chamberlain Bridge spans the narrow entrance to the harbor, connecting the commercial district with the residential areas beyond. Pedestrians and horses make their way across the bridge, while boats and ships fill the harbor, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere. The horses and carts, a common mode of transportation at the time, add to the sense of activity and movement. In the background, the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea meet the coastline, providing a stunning backdrop to the scene. The ships in the harbor, some with sails billowing in the wind, suggest the importance of maritime trade to the island's economy. Overall, this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of Bridgetown, Barbados, during the 1910s, a time when the island was a thriving hub of commerce and culture in the West Indies.
