Description: | This pulley block was used in the general cargo-handling work of the Port of London. Before cargoes were routinely transported in uniform containers, pulleys and ropes offered the most efficient method of moving bagged, loose and cased goods from ship to shore. They were also used onboard vessels for a range of lifting tasks. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | 1951-1975 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
