渡島函館港
Hakodate Harbor, Oshima Province
A view of Hakodate harbor, where boats with masts crowd one behind another into the distance.
About this photo
Roofed boats and boats with masts fill the harbor, packed tight all the way back. The boats overlap layer upon layer, and the rows of thin masts seem to run on to the low shore far away. In front, the shore cuts across at a slant, and beyond it a single thin pole, taller than the rest, reaches into the white sky.
Below the photo are printed its Japanese title and the English title HAKODATE HARBOUR, HOKKAIDO. In 1859 (Ansei 6), Hakodate became an international trading port, along with Nagasaki and Yokohama. The album came out in 1898 (Meiji 31), some 40 years later.
