A glimpse into the past: Landing Jetty, Colombo Harbour, Sri Lanka (circa 1910s) This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Landing Jetty of Colombo Harbour in Sri Lanka during the 1910s. The jetty, extending out into the shimmering blue waters of the Indian Ocean, serves as a gateway to the vibrant city of Colombo and the lush island nation of Sri Lanka. The quay is filled with a diverse array of people and goods. At the water's edge, local fishermen unload their catch from traditional wooden boats, their nets laden with the day's haul. Nearby, customs officials inspect goods being transported from the shore to the warehouse, ensuring the smooth flow of trade. The quayside is a hive of activity, with carts and handcarts laden with various goods, from sacks of rice and tea to crates of spices and textiles. The imposing Customs House stands proudly in the background, a symbol of the country's rich history and its role as a major trading hub. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant and diverse culture of Colombo and Sri Lanka during a bygone era. The Landing Jetty serves as a reminder of the country's rich maritime heritage and its enduring connection to the sea.
