Photograph with caption: Halfa 9th Sept[ember 1898].
Description
The small town of Wadi Halfa depicted here no longer exists: it was submerged by the flooding of the Nile Valley behind the Aswan High Dam and the creation of Lake Nasser. Its population was forcibly evicted and resettled elsewhere in Sudan while a new Wadi Halfa was built further south (and remains the port from which vessels travel north to Aswan in Egypt).
