EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling activity at the Pennsylvania R. R. coal docks in Sandusky, Ohio during 1943. Taken by the talented photographer Jack Delano, this image showcases a pivotal moment in American history - the Second World War era. Against a backdrop of vibrant colors, we witness workers diligently loading a massive lake freighter with coal destined for other Great Lake ports. The significance of this scene lies not only in its industrial nature but also as a representation of America's resilience and determination during wartime. The coal being loaded onto these ships served as fuel to power industries and transportation systems critical to supporting the war effort. Delano's lens skillfully captures both the physical labor involved and the sheer scale of operations at play here. From towering piles of coal to meticulously organized railway tracks leading up to the dock, every element within this frame speaks volumes about America's industrial might. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of our nation's rich heritage and unwavering spirit even amidst challenging times. This photograph is part of Jack Delano's remarkable collection housed within the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration archives, offering us an invaluable glimpse into our past and preserving an important chapter in American history for future generations to appreciate.
