1. Title: "A Peaceful Scene of St. John's West, Newfoundland, Canada: Dry Dock and Quayside, Circa 1910s" 2. Description: This photograph transports us back in time to the charming and picturesque harbor of St. John's West, Newfoundland, Canada, during the 1910s. The image showcases the tranquility and beauty of the area, with its quaint quayside, dry dock, and the majestic presence of a steamship moored nearby. 3. Setting the Scene: St. John's West, located on the western side of St. John's Harbour, was a bustling port town during the early 1900s. The town's strategic location on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland made it an essential hub for trade and transportation between North America and Europe. 4. Dry Dock and Quayside: The dry dock in the photograph is a testament to the town's maritime heritage. It allowed ships to be lifted out of the water for repairs and maintenance, ensuring they could continue their journeys across the vast Atlantic Ocean. The quayside, lined with various buildings and structures, adds to the scene's character and charm. 5. The Church and the Inlet: In the background, a small white church stands proudly, its steeple reaching towards the sky. The inlet, with its calm and serene waters, adds to the peaceful ambiance of the scene. 6. The Steamship: The steamship, with its tall smokestacks and impressive size, adds a sense of grandeur to the photograph. It symbolizes the connection between Newfoundland and the rest of the world during this era, as well as the importance of maritime transportation. 7.
