EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Jack Delano captures the bustling activity at the Pennsylvania Railroad ore docks in Cleveland, Ohio during World War II. Taken in 1943, it showcases the unloading of iron ore from a massive lake freighter using innovative "Hulett" unloaders. The image portrays the sheer scale and industrial might of America's shipping industry at that time. The color transparency adds vibrancy to the scene, highlighting the contrast between the deep blue waters of Lake Erie and the towering metal structures on land. As workers go about their duties with precision and determination, one can almost feel their dedication to supporting wartime efforts through this vital occupation. The composition emphasizes both human labor and machinery as integral components of this process, symbolizing America's commitment to industrial progress during a critical period in history. Delano's photograph not only documents an important aspect of American infrastructure but also serves as a testament to our nation's resilience and resourcefulness during times of war. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when railroads played a crucial role in transporting essential resources across vast distances. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this image stands as a powerful reminder of our country's heritage and its ability to adapt and overcome challenges.
