THE PORT AND THE DOCKS.

The Port and part of the Docks are also called the Pool of London. The port is probably the largest in the world, is it 100 kilometеrs long, from London Bridge down to the sea. Ships bring in their cargoes daily from four corners of the world. They come with butter and meat, sugar and fruit, tea and coffee, copper and wood brought from the far-away North and from the tropics.

The Port is full of workers of every nationality and race: you see British sailors, Scandinavians, Africans. This is the place for the unemployed, their only hope for a piece of bread. They come here when it is still dark, they fight at the Dock’s gates to get in first.
