EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scenic beauty and the daily life of the people of Pago Pago, the capital city of American Samoa, during the early 1900s. The photograph showcases the cultivation of coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) for the production of copra, an essential agricultural practice in many tropical regions. The coconut palms, with their distinctive fronds, stretch towards the clear blue sky, framing the picturesque harbor of Pago Pago. The laborers, dressed in traditional garments, are seen meticulously collecting the ripe coconuts from the trees and piling them up in mounds. The dried flesh of the coconuts, or copra, is a vital commodity, as it is used to extract coconut oil, a valuable resource for cooking, lighting, and industrial purposes. The coconut cake, a byproduct of copra production, is also essential, as it serves as a primary source of feed for livestock. The South Pacific Islands, including American Samoa, have long relied on coconut cultivation for their livelihoods and sustenance. The serene atmosphere of this photograph, with the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean in the background, transports us back in time to an era when the simple pleasures of life were cherished, and the natural resources of the land and sea provided for the basic needs of the community.
