Bales Cotton Down Hill Exit Foot Landing Leaving Paddle Shoot Shooting Steamer
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when cotton bales were being shot into a river-steamer, the Magnolia. The image shows the cotton bales leaving the exit of a 350-foot downhill shoot and landing on the front of the paddle boat steamer with precision.
The sheer size and scale of this operation is truly impressive, highlighting the importance and significance of cotton as an import during that time period. The process of shooting the cotton bales into the steamer was not only efficient but also visually striking, as seen in this photograph.
The historical context of this image adds another layer of interest, providing a glimpse into how goods were transported and loaded onto river steamers in days gone by. It serves as a reminder of our industrial past and how technology has evolved over time.
Overall, this print is not just a snapshot in time but a window into an era where manual labor and ingenuity combined to move goods across rivers efficiently. It is a testament to human innovation and determination in overcoming logistical challenges for trade and commerce.
