What is meant with "transcontinental"
Egypt (Arabic: مصر Miṣr [mesˁr], Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [mɑsˤr]), officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia via a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula.

EDIT I just re-looked up "Egyptian warships" on Google again, having done so yesterday...and there it is; plain as day; I'm an idiot! Congrats to Catfish.

When sailing to the Gulf through the Suez Canal my ship would top up the bunkers at Port Said and the Gilly Gilly man would come aboard (if the Captain gave permission) to entertain with his magic show.

Only a fool would leave their cabin door unlocked.

Methinks the Gilly-Gilly man only wanted to catch U in your speedo in the pool aboard the Banks freighter you mentioned staying cool in.
