Description
Photograph of a wharf showing cargo being loaded onto a ship, [s.d.]. The deck of a large ship is visible behind the paved ground of the wharf in the foreground. The lower portion of the foremast is visible in the center while cables extend down from the top of the mast and other tall objects on the boat. Cargo on carts sits in a line to the left of center while a lone cart loaded with cargo stands to the right. A bundle of cargo floats in the air while suspended by cables from the boat.
