EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling activity of Port Said's harbor in Egypt around the turn of the twentieth century. The image showcases a picturesque view of the harbor, with its landed sailing ships and boats docked along the canal. The tranquil waters reflect the vibrant colors of the sails, as they billow in the gentle breeze. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the shoreline, taking in the scene before them. The city of Port Said, located on the north-eastern coast of Egypt and the western bank of the Suez Canal, was a thriving port town during this era. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of the time, connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, making Port Said a crucial hub for international trade and travel. The docks and banks of the harbor were a hive of activity, with ships from all corners of the world coming to dock and unload their cargo. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Port Said and Egypt during a bygone era.
