This image was captured in late 1963 at the time of my first transit of the Suez Canal when the SS Mahseer was outbound from the UK to Colombo in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). At the time, I did not know that I was photographing the WW1 War memorial at the entrance to the Canal at Suez. The image has been heavily processed to remove the visual effects of the green mould that has grown on the surface of all of the 35mm slides taken at that time.
