Immigrants walk along the quay with their luggage

A long, dense column of people walks toward the camera along the quay: women in belted coats and headscarves, men in hats and caps, carrying suitcases, briefcases and a large rolled bundle; a man in a light uniform walks at the head, stacks of timber lie at the left and cranes rise over a ship behind. The source describes immigrants walking towards quarantine. Jewish immigration, which had exceeded 60,000 in 1935, was held by the Mandate government to far lower quotas in 1937 and 1938.
