EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at New Coal Pier No. 9 in Newport News, Virginia, USA, during the 1910s. The pier, operated by the C&O Railway Company, was a vital part of the region's transportation infrastructure, supplying coal to fuel the steamers and steamships that plied the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The pier juts out into the Chesapeake Bay, with the open sea beyond, and is surrounded by a maze of boats and ships, all engaged in the business of loading and unloading coal. Scaffolding and tracks extend from the pier, reaching out to the vessels, as workers toil to transfer the fuel from the pier to the waiting boats and ships. The scene is a testament to the importance of coal as a fuel source during this era, and the critical role that the railway and maritime industries played in transporting it to power the nation's growing economy. The intricate network of tracks and the diverse array of boats and ships reflect the complex logistics involved in the coal trade, with each vessel representing a link in the long supply chain that connected coal mines in Appalachia to industries and consumers across the country. Despite the industrial nature of the scene, there is a sense of beauty and harmony in the way that the various elements of the photograph come together. The water reflects the sky, creating a mirror image of the clouds above, while the boats and ships form a geometric pattern against the pier. The result is a striking image that captures the essence of America's coastal communities during the early 20th century.
