Description

This is a black and white photo of a crane extending from a barge. There is a crane on top of a barge in a wide waterway. The crane is moving dirt to or from a pile on the boat using a bucket-like apparatus that hangs from the boat by a pulley system. There is a long wooden board extending from the edge of the water to the barge, and there are two men standing on shore. There is smoke coming from the top of the crane. There are trees lining the edge of the waterway in the background.
