EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling activity of Port Said harbour in Egypt during the 20th century. The image showcases a panoramic view of the harbour, with numerous ships anchored or moored, their smokestacks releasing plumes of white steam into the clear blue sky. The harbour is dotted with buoys and boats of various sizes, adding to the vibrant scene. Port Said, located at the northernmost point of the Suez Canal, has been a vital transportation hub since its establishment in the late 19th century. The harbour facilitated the transfer of goods and passengers between Europe, Asia, and Africa, making it an essential link in global trade routes. The photograph offers a glimpse into the Middle Eastern coastal town's rich maritime history. The ships, with their distinctive funnels and masts, are reminiscent of a bygone era, when sailing was the primary mode of transportation. The waterfront bustles with activity, as workers load and unload cargo, and sailors go about their daily tasks. The calm waters of the harbour reflect the clear blue sky, creating a serene contrast to the industrial activity taking place on the shore. The image invites the viewer to imagine the sounds, smells, and sights of this bustling port, making it a captivating window into Egypt's maritime past.
