Headline New Warehouses for Kunsan Harbor

Caption Description Kunsan, one of Korea's most important ports, is so silted that ships must unload part of their cargo outside the harbor before coming into the docks. Goods are loaded onto lighters, transferred to oxcarts or A-frames, loaded into box-cars or taken to remote warehouses and then handled in the reverse manner for rail shipment out of the port. Three large warehouses were destroyed during the fighting. As part of its program aimed at rehabilitating the port area, UNKRA undertook the reconstruction of the warehouses, which lie between the docks and the railroad tracks, enabling goods to be unloaded directly into the warehouses and then to be transferred onto the trains.
This picture shows a Korean laborer working on the hand-hewn beams used for the structure. The new UNKRA warehouses which are built on the site and using the remaining concrete pillars of the old buildings, begin to take shape. They will be 290 by 80 feet and hold about 4,000 tons of cement or fertilizer, the major goods being shipped through the port. UNKRA provided $285,000 worth of imported materials for the construction, and 32 million Hwans for building costs. [No exact date]
