Barges and steamers off a riverside promenade, 1937

From above, the view runs along a promenade planted with rows of clipped trees, cars parked in its shade, to landing stages where a paddle steamer is moored; out on the hazy river a long, laden barge and several smaller boats move up and down between steep wooded banks. In the 1930s the Rhine carried more freight than any other river in Europe, most of it coal and ore between the Ruhr and the sea.
