Ceylon Depicted Entering Lanka Steam Ships 1921 Columbo Liner


EDITORS COMMENTS
A Glorious Era of Maritime Travel: SS Karmala Enters Colombo Harbour, Ceylon (Now Sri Lanka), 1921 This evocative photograph captures the SS Karmala, a passenger liner of the esteemed P&O (Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company) line, gracefully entering Colombo Harbour in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1921. The image offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of the Indian Ocean and the golden age of ocean travel. The SS Karmala, a symbol of luxury and elegance, was one of the many steamships that transported passengers between Europe and the British colonies in Asia. The ship's majestic silhouette, framed by the vibrant blue waters and the lush green hills of Ceylon, speaks to the allure and adventure of sea travel during this era. Colombo Harbour, an important trading hub since ancient times, served as a gateway to the East for European explorers and merchants. The photograph showcases the harbour's bustling activity, with other ships anchored in the background, adding to the scene's historical significance. The SS Karmala's arrival in Colombo marked the beginning of a new journey for its passengers, who were eager to explore the exotic lands of Ceylon and other Asian destinations. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural exchanges and connections that were forged during this period of global exploration and discovery. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring allure of maritime travel and the fascinating history of the Indian Ocean. It invites us to reflect on the stories and experiences of the people who sailed on these magnificent vessels and the impact they had on the world.
