EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Whiteley Bridge in Basra, Iraq, during the early 1910s. The Whiteley Bridge, also known as the Basra Bridge, was an essential engineering feat of the time, connecting the two banks of the Shatt al-Arab waterway in the southernmost city of Iraq. Built between 1911 and 1914, this steel truss bridge was named after Sir Percy Whiteley, the British High Commissioner in Iraq during its construction. The bridge was a vital link for the British military and civilians, facilitating the movement of troops, supplies, and commerce between Basra and the rest of Iraq. The photograph captures the bridge in its prime, with the Shatt al-Arab river flowing calmly beneath it, reflecting the sunlight and creating a mirror-like effect. The bridge's intricate design is evident, with its elegant arches and the suspension cables that support the structure. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the bustling activity on the banks of the river, with boats and people going about their daily lives. The Whiteley Bridge stood the test of time, serving the people of Basra for several decades until it was eventually replaced by a newer bridge in the late 1960s. Today, the bridge remains an important part of Basra's history, a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the past. This photograph provides a unique perspective into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when the Whiteley Bridge was a vital connection between two worlds, linking the city of Basra to the larger world beyond.
