EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stunning view of St. Pierre, Martinique, West Indies, as it once was, around the turn of the 20th century. The quaint French colonial town, nestled between the deep blue waters of the Caribbean Sea and the verdant hills, is a picture of tranquility and beauty. The bustling port is filled with ships and boats, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze, adding to the vibrant scene. The iconic St. Pierre Bay, with its protective volcanic hill, is a popular anchor point for seafarers. However, this idyllic image belies the ominous presence of Mount Pelee, the active volcano looming in the background. Although not visible in this photograph, the mountain would soon change the landscape forever. On May 8, 1902, Mount Pelee erupted, unleashing a devastating pyroclastic flow that engulfed St. Pierre, destroying the town and killing an estimated 30,000 people. This tragic event left a profound impact on the history of Martinique and the Caribbean. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the paradise that once was, and the resilience of the people who rebuilt their lives and community in the aftermath of the disaster.
