Photograph of the ship, Aleutian, unloading cargo onto the dock at Valdez. The dock extends from the bottom edge and back into the distance. Along the left side of the dock, the Aleutian is docked. At the far end of the ship, a crane on the ship holds a stack of cargo and hovers it over the dock. A few dock workers stand in the area beneath the hanging cargo at the end of the dock. Mountains dusted with snow rise in the far distance.
