C & NW Ore docks |
Scope & Content |
Vessel names, Captain's name, arrival and departure dates, man hours to load, any time lost, types of ore loaded, tons called for, and if consigned, the name of the consigned party. This gives a wealth of information about the size and scope of business on the docks during this period. It also shows the slow down in loading during the depth of the Depression. Part of 1929 appears to be missing as the arrival dates jump from April to September of that year |
