Statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps, promoter of the Suez Canal
The monumental statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps, who built the Suez Canal, removed from its original base in 1956, rests today in a corner of Port Said, waiting for its hypothetical return to the entrance of the Suez Canal. The pilot of a ship speaks of this historical figure of another time, symbol of the French occupation.
