Comments and Context
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Here is a very good drawing of the Suez Canal. The canal passes thru 3 lakes in its course of 90 miles from Suez to Port Said which is the Mediterranean port at that end of the canal. All this country to either side of the canal seems to be a barren desert. We could see the top of a mountain in the far distant [sic] that was said to be Mt. Sinai. Progress thru the canal is very slow and we anchored over night in the second lake from Suez. We occasionally could see some Arab riding across the country on a camel.”
