Description
Photograph of workers helping to lift cargo onto the ship "Annie Johnson" in Stockholm, Sweden, 1931. At center, two men stand near two narrow palates, watching a crane arm hoist a stack of boxes full of Sil-O-Cel insulation brick. In the background, a large ship can be seen, the first in a line of several that extend backward into the left distance. Writing on the boxes reads "This side up. Handle with care. Use no hooks". The bricks were manufactured by the Johns Manville Corporation.
