EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1912 by William Davis Hassler, showcases a coaling steamship equipped with portable bucket conveyors. The image captures the bustling atmosphere of the docks as workers load coal onto the ship, highlighting the industrial prowess of early 20th-century America. The sheer size and grandeur of the cargo ship dominate the frame, emphasizing its importance in transporting goods across vast distances. The portable bucket conveyors can be seen suspended above the ship's deck, efficiently transferring coal from dock to vessel. This innovative technology revolutionized loading processes at that time. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of history. It transports us back to an era when steamships were at their peak and played a crucial role in shaping global trade networks. As we delve into this photograph, we witness not only a remarkable feat of engineering but also glimpse into daily life on New York's bustling waterfront. The tireless efforts of dockworkers are evident as they work diligently to ensure smooth operations for this vital mode of transport. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this image serves as a testament to America's industrial might during an era defined by technological advancements and rapid growth. It reminds us how far we have come while honoring those who paved our way towards progress in transportation and industry.
