EU: Colombo (Sri Lanka). Fisherman’s boat and “Cleveland” high-sea passenger steamer in the harbor (1913)
1913 Colombo, Sri Lanka
A small fishing boat shares the harbor at Colombo with the ocean-going passenger steamer Cleveland, photographed in 1913. The contrast between local fishing craft and the large liner reflects Colombo's role as a major port of call on international shipping routes.
