The harbour basin below the old town

Seen from above, perhaps from the crane, rows of rowing boats and lighters fill the harbour basin; men stand at the edge of the quay beside stacked cases, two long warehouses line the waterfront, and above them the houses of old Jaffa climb the hill, crowned by a tall tower at each end. Jaffa, the ancient port of Palestine, handled its cargo by lighter, for ships had to anchor offshore.
