English: Otaru port in 1909 (Meiji 49). Breakwater protrude from the left and right sides of the boat entrance. They were broken many times by big waves. Cargo was transferred from the Kitamae-bune offshore to the barge, and then the treads were handed over and carried on people's shoulders. There are rest areas and stalls in front of the warehouse on the shore side. An old man is taking a nap on the trolley in front.
