Cork from Corsica unloaded. Nice harbor 1951

In the harbor of Nice in 1951, workers unload a shipment of cork from Corsica. One man stands atop a vintage flatbed truck piled high with bundles of bark, while three others assist from the paved ground below. The quayside, crisscrossed by railway tracks, is covered with immense piles of the raw material, with another heavily loaded trailer visible in the background under a bright, sunlit sky.
