The Breakwater at Port Said, Egypt: A Timeless Maritime Landmark (Terry Parker/Mary Evans) The captivating image of The Breakwater at Port Said, Egypt, as depicted in this vintage postcard by Terry Parker, transports us to a bygone era of maritime history. This iconic structure, a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess, stretches out into the Mediterranean Sea, protecting the harbor from the relentless waves. Port Said, located at the northernmost point of the Suez Canal, has long been a vital gateway to the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, connecting Europe and Asia. The Breakwater, completed in 1869, was an essential addition to the port's infrastructure, enabling larger ships to dock safely and efficiently. The photograph, published by Leon and Levy, showcases the breakwater's impressive length, with its granite blocks arranged in a seemingly endless line, leading the eye towards the distant horizon. The calm, turquoise waters reflect the clear, sunny sky, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The contrast between the rugged, natural beauty of the sea and the man-made structure adds to the image's intrigue and allure. The postcard's aged appearance, with its slight wear and fading edges, serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the enduring significance of this historical landmark. The Breakwater at Port Said continues to stand as a symbol of human progress and our ability to harness the power of the sea, making it an essential piece of maritime history and a must-see destination for travelers and history enthusiasts alike.
