EDITORS COMMENTS
Aerial View of Fedala, Morocco (circa 1930): A Glimpse into the Emerging Moroccan Oil Industry This aerial photograph offers a unique perspective of Fedala, now known as Mohammedia, a coastal city in Morocco, during the 1930s. The image showcases the burgeoning oil industry that was transforming this North African city. In the foreground, a series of Vacuum and Shell bonding warehouses can be seen, their distinctive structures arranged in a neat, orderly fashion. These warehouses were designed to store and process crude oil, marking the beginning of the refining process. The presence of these structures indicates the significant role Fedala played in the Moroccan oil industry during this era. The photograph also reveals an intriguing collection of petroleum storage tanks, their rounded shapes and uniform arrangement creating a striking contrast against the blue expanse of the Mediterranean Sea. The tanks, which were likely used to store refined oil products, underscore the industrial scale of the operations taking place in Fedala. As the sun casts a golden glow over the scene, the image invites us to explore the history of this coastal city and the vital role it played in Morocco's oil industry during the 1930s. This aerial view serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the people who built this infrastructure, paving the way for the country's economic development. This photograph is an evocative reminder of a time when the world was on the cusp of significant technological advancements, and Morocco, with its rich natural resources, was poised to make its mark on the global stage.
