A Glimpse into the Past: Sampans at the Harbour of Saigon, 1907 This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the bustling harbour of Saigon in 1907. The image, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a historical window into Vietnam's rich maritime heritage. The scene is set with the vibrant Annamese sampans, their sails billowing in the wind, nestled against the backdrop of the Saigon River. The sampans, traditional Vietnamese boats, were a common sight in the harbour, serving as the primary mode of transportation and trade for the local population. Their distinctive design, with a narrow hull and a single mast, allowed them to navigate the river's intricate network of waterways with ease. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity of the harbour, with people going about their daily business. Men can be seen loading and unloading cargo from the boats, while others are repairing nets or mending sails. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the local community, who relied on the river and its boats for their livelihoods. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Saigon, with European-style buildings and steamships visible in the background. The French colonization of Vietnam began in the late 19th century, and Saigon became the capital of French Indochina in 1887. The influence of European culture is evident in the architecture and technology, but the traditional Vietnamese boats and way of life persisted alongside it. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Vietnam, a country that has undergone significant changes over the past century. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and resilience of the Annamese people and their connection to the water.
