Beyond the vessel is Suez Canal Company's Building, in peace time, a white building, now camouflaged with dark grey, stone and light buff paint. On eastern side of the harbour is a camouflaged dockyard chimney. In the centre of the picture is half a ship - salvaged after a bombing raid in Canal Zone, Port Said, Egypt.
