Recently, this boat, laden with wood, was moored at one of the docks at Columbia River Park.
Workers soon showed up to load it onto a waiting trailer at the boat-launch ramp.
Two young people stared in amazement at the undertaking.
One of the workers (apparently the captain of the vessel) continued to work alone, loading the wood by hand and with the help of a small jib crane. Perhaps, a similar scene (minus the modern devices) occurred along this stretch of the river 200 years ago.
