Not far north of Dar es Salaam rested sleepy Bagamoyo, once the capital when the Germans invaded Tanganyika. The town was located where ocean breezes swept over faded buildings.

I day tripped to the coastal haven several times during my Dar days, inspired by the ruins scattered among coconut palms, the silent streets and colonial buildings. Bagamoya was a thriving town during the slave trade era but when I visited, I was taken in by its relaxing atmosphere, rather than its dark past.
Good to know about this place. When did you go to Tanzania?

O 70s, wow. So, these photos were taken when you were in Tanzania in 70s? Just curious to know.

All the faded photos are from that time; the clear ones you’ll note, I’ve credited to the photographers
