M/V Golden Kimisis, Callao, July 1974. Peruvian stevedores spent 21 days, 3 shifts, 24 hours a day, shoveling 30,000 tons of American coal into large canvas bags which were then pulled out of the holds by the ship's cranes and dumped into a motley assortment of rusty trucks. This brought home to me how tenuous much of the world's energy infrastructure really was.
The two white ships on the left are Polish fishing trawlers, in port after 6 months at sea working the Humboldt Current, the world's richest fishery. Their catch, mostly sardines, anchovies and mackerel, is transferred to factory ships while offshore.
