A crane loads a barge at a river harbour, 1937

On a paved quay laced with railway tracks, a line of open goods wagons stands beside a tall latticed portal crane; the crane swings its jib out over the river and lowers a heavy grab towards a long barge moored at the curving quay wall, while a factory chimney and low works buildings rise beyond. Harbours like this one transferred Ruhr coal and ore between rail and river, the traffic that made the Rhine the busiest waterway in Europe.
