Bombardment of Alexandria Forts and Breakwater Construction
Cable reports from Loanon and Alexandria detail ship bombardment of Fort Marsa-el-Kanat with multiple vessels including the Inflexible and Temeraire. Forts suffer damage, fortress towers topple, and a magazine at Fort Ada explodes. Contemporaneous narration describes the planned outer breakwater to shield the harbor, its vast dimensions, concrete blocks, and quays to enable year round loading.
Alexandria’s Modern Harbor and City Growth described
Alexandria rests on a narrow isthmus linking Pharos island to the mainland. The Ras-el-Toon area hosts the palace arsenal and government buildings while the western harbor, opened to Christian shipping earlier in the century, serves as the main trade port. The old lighthouse remains near Pharos while Ras-el-Teon replaces it with a 20 second rotating light. The Ramich Railway and Mahmoudich Canal roads attract crowds and modern development extends eastward toward the railway and boulevards.

Alexandria Bombardment Report From July Fort Battles
The report details the July sea operations near Alexandria where Admiral’s council halted major actions due to heavy seas. Temeraire and Infleible harbored near Ras el Tin and Fort Ada as shots limited, with many troops evacuating, negotiations failing, and a temporary truce declared multiple times. By July 18 almost all batteries facing the sea were destroyed, casualties estimated at two thousand, and British ships criticized for slow gunnery though some actions persisted into dawn.
