EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the serene beauty of Susans Bay in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, during the 1920s. The image showcases a picturesque scene of traditional boats and vessels gracefully bobbing on the tranquil waters, their sails fully hoisted to catch the gentle breeze. The boats, with their distinct African design, add a unique charm to the landscape, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. Susans Bay, located in the heart of Freetown, has been a vital hub for maritime activities for centuries. The bay served as a shelter for local fishermen and traders, who relied on the sea for their livelihoods. The boats in the photograph represent their resilience and adaptability, as they have navigated the waters of Susans Bay for generations. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Sierra Leone. It also highlights the strong connection between the people of Sierra Leone and the sea, which continues to be an essential part of their culture and daily life. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of the African coastline and the vibrant communities that call it home.
