EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Pier at Manama, the capital city of Bahrain, located on the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf in the 1940s. The pier, with its weathered wooden planks and rusted metal railings, stretches out into the shimmering waters, providing a connection between the bustling city and the vast expanse of the sea. In the background, the modernist buildings of Manama's skyline rise up, a testament to the city's rich history and its role as a trading hub in the Middle East. Cranes and other industrial equipment dot the waterfront, hinting at the bustling activity of the port. The pier is a hive of activity, with people and goods moving back and forth between the ships and the quay. Sailors and dockworkers can be seen loading and unloading cargo from the ships, while others mingle on the pier, exchanging news and goods. The Pier at Manama was a vital link in the region's trade network, connecting Bahrain to the wider world. The Persian Gulf, with its strategic location at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe, has long been a key trade route, and Manama's port played a crucial role in facilitating the exchange of goods between the East and the West. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place in Manama and the wider region, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Pier at Manama was a bustling hub of activity, connecting Bahrain to the world beyond its shores.
