A view of a container ship and crane loading cargo at the Port of Oakland's 7th Street Terminal. The Bay Bridge and the skyline of San Francisco are in the background. The photo is taken from across the tops of other containers, and from the apparent list to port or starboard, those containers could well be on another ship. A typewritten note on a piece of paper attached to the back of the photo reads " A Japanese container ship loads cargo at the Port of Oakland's Seventh Street Terminal, the largest maritime facility ever constructed on San Francisco Bay. Oakland is the second largest container port in all categories-container tonnage, container cargo berths and container cranes." Note that no date is given for the photo.
