EU: Afrikaresa, Zanzibar - waterfront skyline with dhow (1961)
1961 Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania
The Stone Town waterfront skyline rises behind a dhow in this 1961 image, showing Zanzibar's harbour as it appeared in the early 1960s, not long before the island's 1963 independence and its 1964 union with Tanganyika to form Tanzania.
