Willems Quay, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia: A Glance into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1916, offers a glimpse into the bustling waterfront of Willems Quay in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies era. The image, bathed in the sepia tones of a bygone era, shows the Residency Office and its imposing stairs, standing proudly on the quayside. The office served as the administrative hub for Dutch colonial rule in the region. In the foreground, a myriad of boats dot the water, their sails furled and masts at rest. The tranquil scene belies the constant activity that would have unfolded here: the loading and unloading of cargo, the exchange of goods and ideas, and the comings and goings of people from all corners of the Dutch East Indies and beyond. The road leading up to the Residency Office is lined with trees and people, adding a sense of life and vitality to the scene. The steps of the office are a testament to the architectural grandeur of the colonial era, their intricate design a stark contrast to the simple boats in the water. This photograph, with its rich history and timeless beauty, invites us to explore the stories of Surabaya's past and the role it played in the broader history of Indonesia. The boats on the water, the people on the streets, and the Residency Office on the quay all contribute to a vivid tableau of a town that was once a thriving hub of trade and culture in the Dutch East Indies.
