Large boxes of explosives, probably for use in the Korean War, are being loaded onto, a supply ship at Kure wharf. Printing on the sides of the boxes says '5 MINES CONTACT AT M V HC. AND COVERS FOR FUSES. TNT.' Wharf cranes are shifting the loads, and Japanese crew members are working in the hold. Note the Japanese girl standing on a load of timber on the deck of the ship.
