Yemen, Aden Port from the lighthouse, 1880

This rare photograph from 1880 shows a panoramic view of Aden Port taken from the lighthouse.

Aden Port housed the European port and British administrative infrastructure, and was the primary gateway between Aden and the outside world at the time.

The photograph documents the maritime and architectural expanse of the region and reflects Aden's centrality as a strategic port on the Suez Canal route to India.
