Interesting is right! I missed that looking at the arrangement for unloading and loading, with the metal “spars” to the left and the ship’s hosts to the right. I wonder where these logs were headed?

What I think is
cool about this photo is something I've never seen. The towers at the left
across the tracks from the ship to which the ships rigging has been attached to
allow a further reach for the ship to unload its cargo.
