Port Said, known as a vital fuelling station for ships passing through the iconic Suez Canal, is showcased here as a hub of activity and industry. The image showcases a vivid display of color against the backdrop of the sea. A fleet of boats can be seen carrying coal to refuel steamships, highlighting the significant role that water transport played in trade and transportation during this era. The towering funnels on these vessels stand tall, symbolizing the power and might of these maritime giants. In this snapshot, men are diligently loading coal onto these ships, showcasing their strength and resilience in an arduous task.
