EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the Spanish frigate Berenguela making history as the first large-scale ship to navigate the Suez Canal in Egypt during the 19th century. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of its time, had recently opened in 1869, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and significantly reducing the distance and time required for global maritime communication. The Berenguela, proudly flying the Spanish flag, is shown here anchored near the canal's edge. Men in traditional Egyptian attire, including the long, flowing djellabas and turbans, are gathered on the shore to greet the arriving vessel. Camels, a common mode of transportation in the region, are present, adding to the authentic Middle Eastern landscape. In the background, an obelisk stands tall, a testament to ancient Egyptian history. The frigate's chimney emits smoke, a telltale sign of its steam-powered engine, symbolizing the convergence of the contemporary age and the rich history of Egypt. The crew members on deck of the Berenguela are busy navigating the vessel through the canal, with the help of the ship's officers. The ship's sails have been furled, and the vessel's size and grandeur are evident, making it a sight to behold for the Egyptian people. This engraving, produced in 1870, is a fascinating snapshot of a historic moment in maritime history. The Berenguela's voyage marked a significant milestone in the Suez Canal's early days, demonstrating the canal's potential as a vital navigable waterway for global communication and trade.
