After a very troublesome beginning of the great human project the Suez Canal was opened 150 years before. Ten thousand people gathered on the 16th and 17th November 1869 in the Egyptian city Port Said. At the top of the list of guests along with the Egyptian Viceroy Ismail Pascha before all there were representatives of big European governments King Franz Joseph of Austria- Hungary, the French queen Ēugenie, Crown prince Freedrich of Prussia.
