Description
Photograph of the receiving tables at the Curtis Corporation, showing workers loading Albacore tuna, [s.d.]. Two men stand at the bottom of a sloping, wooden platform at center where tuna slide down to them. They wear hip-waders and hats as they hold large fish in each hand. A third man carefully places a large fish onto a wooden cart on the left while another man fills a cart on the right. Small beams of daylight enter through the low, wooden-slots which constitute the ceiling above.
