EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1910s and experience the picturesque entrance to the port of Dunkirk, France, also known as Dunkerque. This photograph, taken from The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of a bustling maritime town during an era of sail and steam. The image showcases a vibrant and active harbor, with an array of ships and smaller boats anchored at the entrance, waiting to navigate the channel leading to the inner harbor. The ships, with their distinctive sails and smokestacks, represent the diverse range of maritime activity that once thrived in this northern coastal town. The quay and wharf, lined with buildings and cranes, are a testament to the industrious spirit of the townspeople. The intricate details of the architecture, from the red-tiled rooftops to the ornate facades, reveal the rich history and cultural heritage of Dunkirk. The calm, turquoise waters of the English Channel gently lap against the shore, creating a serene contrast to the hustle and bustle of the port. The sky, a mix of blue and gray hues, adds depth and dimension to the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the port of Dunkirk was a thriving hub of maritime activity, connecting the town to the world beyond its shores. The image is a reminder of the enduring beauty and importance of the sea and the role it plays in shaping the communities that border its shores.
