Description
Suez Canal Zone, Egypt. c. 1916. A bridge across the canal swung open to allow shipping to pass through. The platform in the foreground supports the windlass to operate the bridge with a group of Arabs waiting for instructions to close the bridge after the ship in the background has cleared the area.
