Orange cases are hoisted up a liner's side

A crane lifts a sling packed with pale wooden cases up the black hull of a liner past its portholes, while passengers lean on the rails of the promenade deck above; in the foreground a porter in a knitted cap and scarf looks round, and more cases wait on the quay. The source names the French liner Champollion of the Messageries Maritimes loading oranges. Citrus was the largest export of Mandate Palestine.
