The city of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

This is a view from Mt. Kazagashira looking over the city centre and harbour. Land reclamation has progressed in the Shinchi area, and new buildings are being erected. But the old stone embankments still remain. Dejima Island and Dejima Bridge are visible along with Shin-Ohashi Bridge (built in 1869) and a white Western-style residence in Tsuki-machi. The date is 1871or 1872. War vessels and ships are anchored in the Nagasaki Harbour, and the Akunoura shipyard and Inasa area are visible on the opposite shore.==Date:1873, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Uchida Kuichi , (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number114‐31‐0]

The mouth of Nakashima River

Before 1887, the mouth of Nakashima River was the area where the Eighteenth Bank presently stands. This is the view upstream from Shin-Ohashi Bridge, which was built at the mouth of the river in 1869. Chokyu Bridge is seen in the centre, with Tsuki-machi on the left and Nishihamano-machi on the right. The volume of water was obviously much greater then than it is now. Indeed, Nakashima River was used as a water route to transport goods. The date is the early Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number114‐15‐0]
