Shark fisherman, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, July 1917

1917

“Young shark caught at DSM – Dar es Salaam.” Portrait of a local fisherman holding up a large fish by the tail, two small vessels lie in the shallow behind him. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in German East Africa and Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
