Horses loading for Klondike, no. 9

1897 · 1 min

A brief, matter-of-fact glimpse of bustling dockside labour, watched with the detached curiosity of an early camera recording everyday work.

Overview
The wharf is crowded with live stock, and the huge derrick slowly drops the large box or sling into the bunch. Into this cradle a horse is led, and is slowly hoisted and swung over to the deck of the steamer. This picture is taken ten minutes before sailing time.
