EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Aquatic Sports at Port Said" takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a sporting event in 19th-century Egypt. The image captures a thrilling moment during a swimming competition, where spectators eagerly watch from the crowded shores of Port Said. The scene is set with an array of boats and buoys marking the course for both swimmers and judges. The print showcases two races: one spanning 300 yards and another covering 100 yards. As the competitors dive into the water, their determination is palpable. In this snapshot, we witness the intense rivalry between participants as they strive to reach the finish line first. A Maltese race winner can be seen laying claim to victory amidst cheers from onlookers. Meanwhile, HMS Alexandra's Highlander stands tall in support of his fellow athletes. The danger inherent in these aquatic sports adds an element of excitement to this historic moment frozen in time. Tugboats like Hewlett play a crucial role in ensuring safe transportation throughout this bustling port city. With its intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this engraving by Horace Morehen transports us back over a century ago when aquatic sports were celebrated events that brought communities together. It serves as a testament to human endurance and our eternal fascination with competitive endeavors.
