Description
Local people walk up and down a large ramp as they use large baskets to coal HMAS Melbourne from the huge supplies of coal stacked on the wharf in the British West Indies. Along with HMAS Sydney, HMAS Melbourne spent 16 months between 1915 and 1916 on patrols of the Caribbean, with a base in Jamaica, and the North Atlantic off Long Island, with a base at Halifax.
