EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Harbour at Luderitz, Namibia, SW Africa (1940s)" This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty and historical significance of the harbour at Luderitz, Namibia, in the 1940s. Named after its founder, Adolf Luderitz, this coastal town in South West Africa (now Namibia) was a vital hub during the German colonial era. The image showcases a picturesque scene of the harbour, with its wooden pier extending gracefully into the tranquil waters. The pier, a testament to the ingenuity of the German colonizers, served as an essential link between land and sea, facilitating the import and export of goods. The pier is dotted with boats and ships, some moored and others at anchor, reflecting the bustling maritime activity that once thrived in this region. The reflection of the boats on the calm waters adds an ethereal quality to the scene, creating a mirror-like effect that enhances the visual appeal. The pier's end is adorned with a quaint jetty, where cargo and passengers would have disembarked and embarked, connecting Luderitz to the wider world. The town's history is deeply rooted in its maritime past, with the harbour playing a pivotal role in the development of this coastal community. Despite the passage of time, this photograph transports us back to an era of colonialism, transporting us to a bygone era when the sea was a vital artery for trade and communication. The harbour at Luderitz, Namibia, remains a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this fascinating African country.
