The Eboe, a Rider Dempster Lines ship, is unloaded at the Atlantic Terminal of the Apapa docks, Lagos, Nigeria

Original title reads, "At Apapa docks, Atlantic Terminal, an Elder Dempster Lines ship, the Eboe, is unloaded. She carries general cargo. Crane nearest camera has 3-ton capacity; other two more distant cranes are five-tonners. Drums in foreground contain zircon sand from Jos going to Galveston. Number Three shed at left is a transit shed. At the Number Four shed in distance is the Atlantic Terminal, where the mail boats to and from England dock. But loosely speaking, this whole area is called the Atlantic Terminal." [Elisofon field notes, August 1959-December 1959]

This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Life magazine and traveled to Africa from August 18, 1959 to December 20, 1959.
