Suez Canal (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• bior said:

  Center of the photo ... is that a buoy?

• Gene Scharmann said:

  @bior: Yes, it is a bouy. You can see the other channel markers in the distance on both sides, behind the ship..

• Antonio said:

  Interesting pic.

• aware health said:

  Is that some sort of hybrid vessel? Looks like it's rigged for sails, but I think I can see a smokestack amidship.

• Retired at last said:

  @rjones0856: Yes, the ship does have sails and a steam engine. The use of sails economised on the need for coal, but the engine was there for when the wind wasn't blowing.

  Looking south from present day Suez Canal.

  This would seem to be the earlier photo of the two with the un-demolished wall behind the lady. Probably hours (or next day?) between them due to the different shadows.

• beachcomber australia said:

  I wonder if they all ate "Germea for Breakfast" or were sick of the sight of those adverts - presumably there to catch the eye of city-bound ferry passengers on the way to work in the mornings. The other side of the building had adverts for the evening newspaper.

  This photo was recently determined to be part of the Rocks Resumption photographic survey, the title and date of the image has been changed accordingly Here is a map of the Rocks Resumption area (last one in the sequence) AB
