Crates of iced fish are being hauled off the boats at a waterfront dock, the kind of working scene that once defined the daily rhythm of a harbor town. Fish landed at a dock like this went quickly to buyers, so the ice was as important as the catch: it kept the fish fresh through the trip from water to market. Pictures of this kind record the physical labor of commercial fishing before refrigerated trucks and modern cold chains changed how seafood reached customers. Look at the stacked crates and the workers' posture for a sense of how much of that work was done by hand.
