Trieste Molo San Carlo: Historic Postcard with Steamship

This evocative historical postcard captures a moment of maritime life at Molo San Carlo in Trieste, now known as Molo Audace. In the foreground, a small rowboat floats on choppy waters as a steamship approaches head-on, emitting a trail of dark smoke. On the right, along the pier's quay, several people can be seen waiting near a docked sailing vessel. The image provides a vivid testimony of port activity and the atmosphere of the early 20th century in the port of Trieste.
