EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1940s, showcases a serene scene of ships anchored near the iconic Dom Luiz Bridge in Santarem, Portugal. The River Tagus, a major waterway that flows through the heart of the country, is dotted with various vessels, their masts standing tall against the clear blue sky. The Dom Luiz Bridge, an elegant architectural masterpiece, arches gracefully over the water, connecting the old town with the modern part of the city. The tranquil waters of the River Tagus reflect the vibrant colors of the ships, adding to the picturesque beauty of the scene. People can be seen on the bridge, taking in the breathtaking view of the ships and the river. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past when the river was a vital mode of transportation. The photograph captures the essence of Santarem's rich maritime history, where the Tagus River played a significant role in the city's economic and cultural development. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of Portugal's historic cities and the beauty of its waterways. This photograph is an exquisite reminder of a bygone era, a time when the world was more connected by waterways than by airways. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to the future with anticipation.
