Description
A felucca sailing along side is dwarfed by the Chatham Class Light Cruiser, HMAS Sydney, as she travels up the Suez Canal, passing Ferry Post, between Kantara and Port Said on her way from Portsmouth, England, to Sydney, NSW. Australian service men on horseback are on the shore, greeting the crew of the HMAS Sydney who stand on deck. On the shore are stacks of iron pipes, timber and rocks, neatly stacked in squares.
