EU: Schepen in het kanaal en op de rede van Semarang (1870)
1870 Semarang, Indonesia
Vessels lie at anchor in the canal and on the roadstead off Semarang in this 1870 photograph. Lacking a deep-water harbor, ships of the era often had to anchor offshore, reflecting the city's role as a busy trading port on Java's north coast during the Dutch East Indies era.
