Busy Cargo Crane Crowded Export Gear Ghana Ghanaian Lifting Quay Quayside
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Tema Fishing Harbour in Ghana, Gold Coast, West Africa, circa 1950. The image showcases a vibrant and crowded quayside teeming with local fishermen and their colorful boats, interspersed with larger ships anchored in the harbor. The crane in the background, with its outstretched boom and cargo hook, is poised to lift and transport goods, likely a mix of imports and exports, between the ships and the quay. The waterfront scene is alive with the sounds of the sea, the cries of the fishermen, and the hum of activity as people go about their daily business. Tema, a coastal town in Ghana, was an important transportation hub during the 1950s, connecting the region to the wider world. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this part of West Africa, where the sea and its resources played a central role in the lives of the people.
