Description: | John H Avery photographed this icy scene in London's western dock during a cold February. Tugboats, barges and lightermen crowd the water alongside the Danish ship Nachristensen.
The western dock had only recently been redeveloped in 1914 with a new concrete jetty, two-storey transit sheds and a widened Tobacco Dock passage between the western and eastern docks. Wool, tobacco and wine were the principal cargoes handled in London Docks. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Museum in Docklands/PLA Collection | Subjects: | work Transport | Temporal: | 1917-02-10 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
