Port of Aden with fishermens , Yemen 1875

This rare 1875 photograph captures a vibrant view of the Port of Aden, one of the most strategic harbors in Arabia during the 19th century.
At the time, Aden was a British Crown Colony, serving as a vital coaling station and military port along the maritime route to India.
The port reflects the rapid urban and commercial transformation of the city under British influence, with steamships and merchant vessels frequenting its docks.
Aden’s harbor played a central role in connecting Africa, South Asia, and Arabia, cementing its importance as a global crossroads during the age of empires.
