EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the 1940s, we gaze upon the breathtaking view over the Suez Canal in Port Said, Egypt. The image captures the administrative building of the Suez Canal Company, now under the jurisdiction of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), standing proudly on the left bank of the canal. The building, with its grandiose architecture, exudes a sense of authority and control over the bustling waterway. In the foreground, a ferry boat gracefully navigates its way through the canal, leaving a gentle ripple on the water's surface. The boat, a common sight in the 1940s, adds a touch of movement and dynamism to the otherwise static scene. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of the time, connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, making it an essential trade route for nations around the world. The Suez Canal Company, founded in 1858, was responsible for the construction and operation of the canal until 1956. However, after the nationalization of the canal by Egypt in 1956, the company was dissolved, and the Suez Canal Authority took over its responsibilities. Today, the SCA continues to manage and maintain the canal, ensuring the smooth flow of international maritime traffic. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the historical significance of the Suez Canal and its administrative buildings, as well as the ferry boats that once played an integral role in the daily operations of the waterway. The image is a testament to the enduring allure and importance of the Suez Canal in Egypt's rich maritime history.
