In this engraving, we witness a fleet of majestic ships making their way towards Port Said through the Suez Canal. The composition is filled with action and anticipation as various vessels, including HMS Superb and Transport Batavia, lead the way for other troopships and ironclads. The entrance into Port Said is marked by steam rising from these mighty ships' chimneys, creating an atmosphere of power and determination. As our eyes wander across the print, we notice Sir Garnet Wolseley's presence aboard one of these vessels—a symbol of leadership during this crucial military campaign. Tugboats can also be seen assisting the larger ships as they navigate through the canal.
