EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic entrance of the Suez Canal in Port Said, Egypt, as it appeared in 1882. The image showcases the lighthouse and breakwater, two essential structures that have guided ships safely through the canal for over a century. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of the late 19th century, was opened in November 1869, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and shortening the sea route between Europe and Asia. The canal's strategic importance grew significantly with the completion of the Suez Canal Company in 1875, which allowed for the efficient transportation of goods and people between the two continents. In this photograph, the lighthouse stands proudly at the entrance, its beacon guiding ships through the narrow waterway. The breakwater, extending into the Mediterranean Sea, protects the canal's entrance from the harsh waves and winds. The calm waters surrounding the structures create a serene atmosphere, contrasting the bustling activity that would have been present as ships passed through. The historical significance of this photograph is immense. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Suez Canal in its early days and the role it played in shaping global trade and travel. The structures in the image have withstood the test of time, continuing to serve their purpose and contributing to Egypt's rich maritime history. This photograph is an excellent addition to any collection focusing on historical, maritime, or architectural themes. Its high-quality resolution and intriguing subject matter make it an excellent choice for personal or educational use, allowing viewers to explore the history of the Suez Canal and the importance of its entrance in Port Said.
