I have had a good look at this picture, I believe it is fertiliser being loaded on to the ship, possibly on Bamlets or the Reach wharfe.
In the foreground you can see the dock workers in the wagon known as a half high of loading on to the slings.
I say this because you have two other pictures in this section, one where the loaders are loading a wagon and the other were they are off loading with the sling on the ground,
not as the caption says, loading – I hope this helps.
In the later days of the two wharves they went to palletist loads with two tons to a pallet.
