Karakoy, Istanbul, Turkey - The Moorings
At Karakoy, the tourist liners moor up today. View showing little ferry boats (some had awnings to keep the sun off the delicate passengers, so this is likely to be off-season!). Galata Tower can be seen in the background - Istanbul, Turkey. Date: circa 1920s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1920s, showcases the picturesque scene at Karakoy in Istanbul, Turkey. The image portrays a bustling quay where tourist liners have moored, their massive structures dwarfing the smaller, traditional boats with colorful awnings. These boats provide shade for their delicate passengers, suggesting that this may be an off-season view. In the background, the iconic Galata Tower rises majestically, its distinctive silhouette a constant presence against the Istanbul skyline. The scene is a testament to the rich blend of modernity and tradition that characterizes Istanbul. The business district, with its imposing buildings and bustling activity, is juxtaposed with the timeless beauty of the minarets and the tranquil waters of the Bosphorus. The bridge in the foreground adds an element of dynamism to the image, symbolizing the constant flow of people and commerce that defines this vibrant city. The row of moored boats, with their varied shapes and sizes, adds to the visual interest of the photograph. Their berthed position creates a sense of calm and stability amidst the bustling activity, inviting us to imagine the stories of the people who have traveled on these waters for centuries. Overall, this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Istanbul, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
