The Custom House sheds, Yokohama. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
View looking along the waterfront towards towards the customs sheds, with local craft moored in the foreground: 'The view here represented, is … taken from the extremity of what is generally known as the English Hatoba, or jetty … About three years ago, the two jetties of this English Hatoba were extended — after a design supplied by Messrs. Whitfield and Dowson, civil engineers here — and a good boat harbour was formed, which has been very serviceable, particularly by enabling boats to land or take on board passengers or cargo in all kinds of weather ... At the back of the Custom-house ... are the Government Godowns or warehouses; and opposite to them, is — the ugliest building in the place, perhaps in the East — the British Consulate, designed by an officer of the Royal Engineers; and whose turrets are seen in the picture, rising above the sheds.' (p. 6)
