Summary
| Description |
English: Shows gangs of 'coal lumpers' coaling a ship in Sydney Harbour, from the hold of the 'sixty-miler' SS Belambi in 1909. Baskets are filled in the hold and hoisted up to the level of the 'plankman' who walks the suspended basket over rail of the ship being coaled from where it is carried to the bunker chutes and tipped into the coal bunkers. The baskets when full weighed about 100kg. The work was arduous and very dangerous but highly paid. |
