EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s, showcasing a camel train crossing the iconic Suez Canal in Egypt via a traditional rope ferry at Kantara. The image presents a unique blend of ancient and modern modes of transportation as the camels, laden with goods, make their way onto the rickety ferry, while passengers look on from the riverbank. The ferry, operated by means of an underwater rope, is reminiscent of modern-day chain ferries, which continue to be used in various parts of the world to transport vehicles and pedestrians across bodies of water. The Suez Canal, a vital waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, has been an essential trade route since its construction in the late 1800s. The edge of the waters reflects the rugged terrain of the North African landscape, with the sun casting long shadows over the scene. The camel train, a common sight in the desert regions of Egypt and other parts of the Middle East, adds to the authenticity of this fascinating image. The camels, with their humped backs and resilient nature, have long been the preferred means of transportation in the arid climate, making them an integral part of the region's history and culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the transport methods used during the early 1900s and the ingenuity of the people who devised ways to traverse the waters of the Suez Canal. The camel train on the rope ferry at Kantara is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of both man and beast, as they navigated the challenges of crossing the canal and continued to thrive in the harsh desert environment.
