How the Suez Canal changed the world - Lucia Carminati
Dig into the construction of the Suez Canal, and discover how it became one of the world’s busiest maritime passages.
--
Today, nearly 30% of all global ship traffic passes through the Suez Canal, totaling over 20,000 ships in 2021. The site of the canal had been of interest to rulers as far back as the second millennium BCE, but plans to construct a passageway were obstructed by cost, political strife, and the ever-shifting sands— until the 19th century. Lucia Carminati details the creation of the Suez Canal.
Lesson by Lucia Carminati, directed by Michael Kalopaidis, Zedem Media.

15 years since Egypt’s ‘worst maritime disaster’
15 years ago, a ferry carrying more than 1,400 people from Saudi Arabia to Egypt capsized in the Red Sea, killing over 1,000.
Regarded as Egypt’s ‘worst maritime disaster,’ it was one of many sea transport accidents that occur off Egypt’s coast or on the Nile.

#SuezCanal #History #Documentary
Today's Daily Dose short history film covers the Suez Canal, maritime's shortcut through Egypt. The filmmaker has included the original voice over script to further assist your understanding:
Today on The Daily Dose, The Suez Canal, Maritime’s Shortcut Through Egypt.
As it currently exists, the Suez Canal is a 120 mile artificial waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea at Port Sa’id to the Red Sea at Port Tewfik at the city of Suez, which in effect defines the border between Africa and Asia. The waterway connects the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in a way that doesn’t require a ship heading between Europe and Asia to either sail around Africa, or to wait for the ice to melt in the Arctic. Unlike the Panama Canal, which comprises the world’s other maritime shortcut, the Suez Canal lacks the presence of locks, since its entire transit happens at sea level. By way of example regarding the canal’s geographic shortcut to maritime shipping, for a vessel traveling from Port Sudan to Anatolia, Turkey, the trip through the canal would be approximately 1,243 miles, while the route around Africa would be greater than 14,000 miles.
First opened in 1869, the big dig would take ten years by the Suez Canal Company, spearheaded by French entrepreneur Ferdinand de Lesseps. In 1858, a deal was struck between Lesseps and Mohammad Sa’id Pasha, the son of the Egyptian ruler, Isma'il Pasha, giving the Suez Canal Company a 99 year lease for a canal zone through the Great Bitter Lakes region of Egypt. 75% of the profits would go to the Canal Company, 15% to Egypt and 10% to investors. Throughout its decade-long construction, over 1.5 million workers were involved in the canal dig, with an approximate 120,000 lives lost to accidents, harsh living conditions, cholera, malaria and yellow fever. After the two opposing construction teams met in the middle at the Bitter Lakes, an enormous opening ceremony was held on the canal on November 15th, 1869, with banquets held on Isma'il Pasha’s yacht and blessings performed in both Christian and Islamic ceremonies, including a hastily-constructed church and mosque built specifically for the event.
While the canal has seen bitter conflicts of ownership during the world wars of the 20th century, the United Kingdom and France owned the canal until July of 1956, when the reigning president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser, nationalized the canal for the Egyptian people, which kicked off the Suez Crisis of late 1956, when British and French forces attempted to regain ownership. Now maintained by the Suez Canal Authority of Egypt, in 2019, the Suez Canal saw 17,800 ships traverse the Egyptian shortcut, at a cost of $465,000 per transit.
And there you have it, Maritime’s shortcut through Egypt, today on The Daily Dose.

Today on The Daily Dose, The Suez Canal, Maritime’s Shortcut Through Egypt.
As it currently exists, the Suez Canal is a 120 mile artificial waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea at Port Sa’id to the Red Sea at Port Tewfik at the city of Suez, which in effect defines the border between Africa and Asia. The waterway connects the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in a way that doesn’t require a ship heading between Europe and Asia to either sail around Africa, or to wait for the ice to melt in the Arctic. Unlike the Panama Canal, which comprises the world’s other maritime shortcut, the Suez Canal lacks the presence of locks, since its entire transit happens at sea level. By way of example regarding the canal’s geographic shortcut to maritime shipping, for a vessel traveling from Port Sudan to Anatolia, Turkey, the trip through the canal would be approximately 1,243 miles, while the route around Africa would be greater than 14,000 miles.
First opened in 1869, the big dig would take ten years by the Suez Canal Company, spearheaded by French entrepreneur Ferdinand de Lesseps. In 1858, a deal was struck between Lesseps and Mohammad Sa’id Pasha, the son of the Egyptian ruler, Isma'il Pasha, giving the Suez Canal Company a 99 year lease for a canal zone through the Great Bitter Lakes region of Egypt. 75% of the profits would go to the Canal Company, 15% to Egypt and 10% to investors. Throughout its decade-long construction, over 1.5 million workers were involved in the canal dig, with an approximate 120,000 lives lost to accidents, harsh living conditions, cholera, malaria and yellow fever. After the two opposing construction teams met in the middle at the Bitter Lakes, an enormous opening ceremony was held on the canal on November 15th, 1869, with banquets held on Isma'il Pasha’s yacht and blessings performed in both Christian and Islamic ceremonies, including a hastily-constructed church and mosque built specifically for the event.
While the canal has seen bitter conflicts of ownership during the world wars of the 20th century, the United Kingdom and France owned the canal until July of 1956, when the reigning president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser, nationalized the canal for the Egyptian people, which kicked off the Suez Crisis of late 1956, when British and French forces attempted to regain ownership. Now maintained by the Suez Canal Authority of Egypt, in 2019, the Suez Canal saw 17,800 ships traverse the Egyptian shortcut, at a cost of $465,000 per transit.
And there you have it, Maritime’s shortcut through Egypt, today on The Daily Dose.
