EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stunning view of Tangier's bustling port from the sea, in Morocco, North Africa, circa 1940. The image showcases the vibrant activity along the coast, with a multitude of boats and ships anchored in the harbor, their sails billowing in the breeze. In the heart of the scene, the majestic Majestic Hotel stands proudly, its white façade gleaming against the backdrop of the azure waters. The hotel, a symbol of luxury and elegance during the 1940s, is a beacon of modernity amidst the traditional Moroccan buildings and the hustle and bustle of the port. The railway tracks, running parallel to the water's edge, add to the sense of industry and commerce, while trucks and other vehicles can be seen making their way along the dockside. The railway played a crucial role in connecting Tangier to the rest of Morocco and Europe, contributing to the city's status as a cosmopolitan hub. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of Tangier during the 1940s, a time when the city was a melting pot of European and African influences. The image is a testament to the beauty and allure of Morocco's coastal cities, and the enduring appeal of the Mediterranean Sea.
