EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1920, captures the serene scene of Freetown's coastline in West Africa. The image showcases a collection of traditional dugout canoes, patiently waiting on the tranquil water's edge for the arrival of steamers. The canoes, handcrafted from a single tree trunk, have been a vital mode of transportation for the local communities in Sierra Leone for centuries. The steamers, with their distinctive tall smokestacks, can be seen anchored in the distance. The contrast between the ancient and the modern is striking, as the traditional canoes, with their simple sails, stand in stark contrast to the advanced steam-powered boats. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the water in a sepia hue. The calm bay, dotted with fishing boats and the occasional sailing vessel, creates a picturesque tableau of life along the Sierra Leonean coast. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Freetown, a city steeped in African heritage and tradition. It is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of the past and the present, as well as the resilience and adaptability of communities in the face of changing times.
