Port Said, Egypt, 1935: A Flotilla of Small Boats Up Against the Harbour This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the harbour of Port Said, Egypt, in 1935. The image showcases a flotilla of small boats, their sails raised high against the backdrop of the harbour and the towering masts of a liner and a steamer in the background. The boats, with their traditional designs and ornate decorations, are filled with people, some dressed in colorful clothing and fez hats, while others are busy loading and unloading goods. Port Said, located at the northernmost point of the Suez Canal, has always been a vital hub for trade and transportation between Asia, Europe, and Africa. The harbour, with its deep waters and strategic location, has played a significant role in the region's history, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and ideas across continents. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel by sea was the primary mode of transportation for long-distance journeys. The boats in the image, with their simple yet elegant designs, reflect the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who relied on the sea for their livelihoods. The presence of the liners and steamers in the background underscores the importance of maritime trade and transportation in the region. The photograph also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Egypt, with the people in the image dressed in traditional clothing and the distinctive fez hats adding to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is not only a historical record of a bygone era but also a beautiful work of art that captures the essence of a vibrant and bustling harbour town. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the human spirit that has always been drawn to its shores.
