EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at The Harbor in Norfolk, Virginia between 1910 and 1920. The image, taken from an elevated vantage point, offers a panoramic view of the harbor teeming with ships of various sizes and shapes. Steamships dominate the scene, their tall smokestacks billowing plumes of white steam against the clear blue sky. The waterfront is filled with cranes and other industrial equipment, indicating the importance of maritime transportation during this era. The city of Norfolk, located in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, was a major port city during the early 20th century. The photograph showcases the vital role it played in the transportation network of North America, connecting the United States to the rest of the world. The ships in the harbor likely carried a diverse range of cargo, from raw materials to finished goods, fueling the growth and development of industries across the country. The photograph is a dry plate glass negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches, and is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American history and the transformative impact of transportation on the country during the 1910s and 1920s. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, transporting us back in time to a bygone era.
