Waves roll toward the port of Tel Aviv

Seen from the water, choppy grey waves break and run toward the shore, where a low line of sheds and warehouses, a jetty and the jib of a crane stand against a cloudy sky. The source lists harbour scenes at Tel Aviv. In May 1936, while the Arab general strike stopped work in the port of Jaffa, the Mandate government allowed Tel Aviv to open a jetty of its own, and by 1938 it had grown into a lighter port.
