Great shot for me also, we load timber at our local port but packs are totally untouched by wharfies hands now barring guiding the heave into the shipboard stow.

This timber is being loaded in the port of Arkhangelsk - one of the biggest "sawmill" of the USSR.
P.S. Thanks a lot to MattyBoy and tvtech...

I second that tvtech.

What a truly captivating picture of days gone by !

Is the lumber being loaded or offloaded ?

It's shots like this that are making me more interested in "Shipspotting"

Personally, I don't care who took the photo..or whose Copyright it is...the fact that it was posted here is great.

Excellent photo of my native city!

Perfect foto -)

Very interesting shot!!!

The oldest straddle carriers I've ever seen (assumed that's what they are)! Fascinating!

Hello All

To think that all the timber had to be carried onto the ships by the dockers.
