EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Rotating Bridge at the Belgian Quay in Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, during the 1910s. The bridge, a marvel of engineering at the time, was an essential component of the city's bustling harbor. The Rotating Bridge, also known as Quai Belge or Quai Belgique Pont Tournant, was designed to allow large ships to pass through the Saigon River while maintaining access to the quay for smaller vessels and pedestrians. The bridge's unique design featured two sections that could rotate independently, enabling the passage of boats while keeping the connection to the land intact. The Belgian Quay, named after the colonial rulers of the time, was a vital commercial hub. This image showcases the bridge in its full glory, with a steamship passing beneath it, while the quay teems with activity. Sailors, dockworkers, and merchants can be seen busily going about their daily tasks, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The Rotating Bridge at the Belgian Quay is a testament to the rich history of Ho Chi Minh City and its role as a significant port city in Southeast Asia. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the city's unique blend of cultures, architectural styles, and economic activities that continue to shape its identity today.
