Bulls Disembarking Embarking Jan16 Loading Loads Moroccan Morocco Seaport Tangier Timber Unloading Walls
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the bustling seaport of Tangier, Morocco during the 1910s, showcases the daily hustle and bustle of loading and unloading bulls and timber from a ship. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and economic activities of this North African city. The scene is set against the backdrop of the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, with the whitewashed walls of the city and the rugged coastline in the distance. The wooden dock is teeming with activity as Moroccan workers, dressed in traditional clothing, expertly maneuver the large wooden planks and ropes to unload the shipment of bulls. Their determined expressions and focused movements convey the importance of this labor-intensive process. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ship, a group of men are busy unloading stacks of timber, each piece carefully balanced and secured before being transported away on carts. The bulls, tethered to the dock, appear calm and patient, seemingly aware of the commotion around them. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the economic and social life of Tangier during the early 20th century. The loading and unloading of goods, such as bulls and timber, were crucial activities for the city's growth and development as a major trading hub. The image also highlights the resilience and adaptability of the Moroccan people, who expertly navigated the challenges of the seaport and the demands of international trade.
