EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Alexandria's Steam Packet Docks in the 1910s. The image showcases a vibrant and lively scene, with several steamships anchored at the quay, their smokestacks releasing plumes of steam into the sky. The quay side is filled with people and animals, as passengers and cargo are being unloaded from the ships. In the foreground, a group of Egyptians are gathered around a mail sack, perhaps eagerly awaiting the arrival of letters and parcels from loved ones or business associates abroad. A horse-drawn cart is parked nearby, ready to transport goods to their final destinations. The Steam Packet Docks were a vital hub for maritime transportation in Alexandria during this era. They served as the primary point of entry for ships from Europe and the Mediterranean, connecting Egypt to the rest of the world. The docks were operated by various steam packet lines, including Messageries Maritimes and Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, which provided regular passenger and cargo services between Alexandria and European ports. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when international travel and communication were more arduous but also more romantic and adventurous. The Steam Packet Docks of Alexandria played a crucial role in Egypt's history, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and ideas across continents, and contributing to the country's rich cultural heritage.
