Loading a freighter with coal at one of the three coal docks owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Sandusky, Ohio, 1943
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by Jack Delano during World War II in Sandusky, Ohio, we are transported back to a time when industrial might and hard work fueled America's war effort. The image showcases the bustling activity at one of the three coal docks owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Against a backdrop of towering smokestacks and billowing clouds of black dust, workers labor tirelessly to load a massive cargo ship with precious coal. This vital fuel source would power not only industries but also ships that played crucial roles in transporting troops and supplies across oceans during wartime. The scene is filled with raw energy as men maneuver heavy machinery and shovel piles of coal onto conveyor belts that lead directly into the waiting vessel. The river serves as both a lifeline for transportation and an essential resource for this operation. Delano's use of color brings vibrancy to this otherwise gritty industrial setting. It reminds us that even amidst war-torn times, there is beauty in human resilience and determination. This still image captures not just a moment frozen in time but also represents an entire era defined by hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering patriotism. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's collective efforts during World War II – where every worker played their part on home soil to support those fighting overseas.
