 vefl since men first took to the sea his major concern has been the land which gave him his beginning. The rocks and reefs that tear the hearts from our modern ocean liners have claimed the lives of thousands of our seafaring ancestors. The pounding of the surf on a lee shore is as awe inspiring and fearful a sound today as when the ancient Greek vessels beat their way into Alexandria from the Eastern Mediterranean. The Island of Pharos was the curse of shipping around Alexandria and collected so great a toll of ships and men from the rich trade that something had to be done. A lighthouse was built, the first in the world, and the engineering and work that went into it was of such genius that it became known as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The massive white marble structure rose from a rock off the eastern end of the island to a height of nearly four hundred feet, presenting the sea with such an uncompromising foe that the light remained as a sentinel of safety that sailors could rely upon for over a thousand years. The new tower at Ras el Tin, located near the ruins of the old, is not as massive or spec- tacular, but like its predecessor it casts its beam unfailingly over the treacherous sea and guides the wandering ships to the land of the Nile.
