EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Muscat harbour in the 1930s, with the historic city of Muscat, the capital of Oman, nestled in the background. The image is dominated by a sleek seaplane, skillfully landed on the calm waters of the harbour. The seaplane, an aeroplane designed for takeoff and landing on water, adds an intriguing element of modernity to the otherwise traditional scene. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Ralph Ponsonby Watts in 1935, transports us back in time to an era of exploration and adventure in the Middle East. The harbour, with its traditional dhows and fishing boats, is a bustling hub of activity, while the rugged mountains in the distance serve as a dramatic backdrop. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Oman, a country located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. The image is a valuable historical record of a time when travel to the Middle East was an exciting and daring endeavour, and seaplanes were a novel mode of transportation. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important piece of aviation and Middle Eastern history.
