It is one of the outstanding photographs of the old waterfront. A portable steam donkey engine on the wharf discharges cargo from a wooden hulled downeaster to the left. The box on wheels to the right of the donkey engine contains coal, and the barrel to the left has water for the engine's boiler. Ahead of the downeaster and also across the wharf, iron hulled British merchantmen discharge their cargoes for transport into the city by horse drawn drays. A rain storm has passed, and the vessels have shaken out their sails to dry; a sailor has tied up his shirt to dry on the forestay of the ship to the right. J. Porter Shaw Collection (Courtesy San Francisco Maritime Museum.)" An instantaneous view showing the end of the Broadway wharf, Telegraph Hill in the distance. Here one may see shipments of flour to the Orient and Siberia, wheat to the United Kingdon and Antwerp, fruit, produce, merchandise and manufactured goods to northern and southern ports on the Pacific from Alaska to the Straits of Magellan. Negative by O.V. Lange, Berkeley.
