EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of The Pier at Entebbe, Uganda, on the tranquil shores of Lake Victoria. The pier, a relic of a bygone era, is adorned with two historic steam ferryboats, the Clement Hill on the left and either the Winifred or Sybil on the right. The Clement Hill, in service between 1906 and 1936, was a symbol of British colonial rule and a vital means of transportation during the era of the Ugandan Protectorate. The wooden pier, weathered by time and the elements, extends gracefully into the lake, where the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore creates a soothing symphony. In the background, the rolling hills and lush greenery of Uganda provide a picturesque backdrop to this scene. A steam ferryboat, with its distinctive chimney billowing out plumes of smoke, adds a sense of nostalgia and history to the image. The cab of the boat, with its ornate design and intricate details, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The pier is also home to various modes of transportation, including rickshaws and taxis, which once carried colonial gentlemen and their families to and from their estates and residences. The pier's flagpole, proudly displaying the British flag, is a reminder of the country's colonial past. As logs and fuel are loaded onto the Winifred or Sybil, the pier comes alive with the sounds and smells of a bustling port. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of men in helmets, adding a sense of industry and purpose to the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Entebbe and Uganda, providing a window into a time when steam ferryboats ruled the waters of Lake Victoria and the British Empire held sway over much of Africa.
