EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph from 1934, the new Ballards Pier in Bombay, India, is shown in all its grandeur, with the majestic P&O liner Strathnaver anchored in the background. The image offers a unique perspective of the bustling coastal city, showcasing the harmonious blend of land and sea. Ballards Pier, located in the southern part of Bombay (now Mumbai), was a significant landmark in the bustling port city. The pier, which was newly constructed at the time, extended far into the Arabian Sea, providing a vital connection between the city and the world beyond. The pier's modern design and infrastructure were a testament to the city's growing importance as a commercial and cultural hub. The P&O liner Strathnaver, with its sleek silhouette and impressive size, adds a sense of scale and grandeur to the scene. The Strathnaver, a British passenger and cargo ship, was a popular choice for travelers embarking on voyages to and from India during the 1930s. The ship's presence in the harbor underscores the importance of maritime transportation during this era. The photograph, taken on 16 November 1934, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Bombay was a thriving port city and the P&O liners were the primary means of travel between India and other parts of the world. The image is a beautiful reminder of the rich maritime history of Bombay and the significant role it played in connecting people and cultures across the globe. This photograph is part of The John Barrett Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and is an invaluable addition to any collection that celebrates the history of transportation, coastal cities, and the 1930s.
