More about this scene
The process involved in loading or unloading ships can be seen clearly here. Cargo is off-loaded from and to horse-driven wagons along wooden gullies directly from and into the hold of the vessel. The solid lock gates leading into the inner harbour allowed the water levels to be adjusted during any state of the tide, enabling either repairs to be undertaken or the dock to remain flooded at low water.
