Photograph of dock workers unloading a pallet of cargo from the Aleutian and onto the wharf in Valdez. Two spectators stand in the foreground at left with their backs to the camera. A pallet sits in partial view on the ground to the right of them. The dock stretches horizontally across the image ahead of the man and the woman. Dock workers attend to a cart laden with cargo at center. Netting hangs down behind the stack of cargo on the dock. The Aleutian is moored at the dock and is viewed from the side. It is in partial view and stretches across the image. The 2 lower decks appear to be lined with passenger cabins. A life saver attached to a guardrail at right reads, "S. S. ALEUTIAN SEATTLE." On the upper deck, equipment and rigging are visible.
Photograph of crates of Darigold Milk being unloaded from the Aleutian in Valdez. The deck of the ship stretches on an upward angle from right to left. Rails line the edge of the right side of the deck. A man leans against the rail at right and faces left. To the left of the man, a gap in the rails stretches across the deck. Over this gap, crates of Darigold Milk and Kellogg's All Bran sit atop a pallet that hangs from ropes over the side of the ship. Beyond the cargo, a group of women stand along the rail. Port Valdez stretches beyond the side of the ship and into the distance. A large mountain rises from the shore in the background.
Photograph looking up at a pallet of cargo being unloaded from the top deck of a ship. The ship sits in partial view in the near distance. Cargo netting stretches in front of the left half of the ship. The ship's decks stretch horizontally across the image. Both lower decks appear to be lined with passenger cabins. On the upper deck, boxes of cargo sit atop a pallet that is being hoisted from the ship. Rigging and masts extend vertically from the top of the ship to the right of the cargo.
