ALEXANDRIE ET L'EGYPTE<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

In Port-Sa\u00efd, Louis-Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my worked with the port services. After a few months, he did not see a very profitable future for him in this canal company, thus he accepted the command of a Kedivieh Postal Company ship, a position offered to him by the French General Consulate in Alexandria.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the \"Neguilh\u00e9\"<\/em>, Louis-Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my was given command of the \"Behera\"<\/em>, the grandest of ships in the Egyptian navy, a yacht that the viceroy, the Khedive Isma\u00efl Pasha, had luxuriously fitted. The grandest ship as well as the largest, with a 314-foot keel (about 80 metres long) and a 400 horsepower engine, which was quite substantial at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was during one of his crossings that he met the Burmese ministers who suggested that he come to Mandalay to build King Mindon's fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n
