a town or city with a harbor where ships load or unload

a cargo ship captain directs workers as they unload large shipping containers from his vessel. Dock workers operate cranes to lift the heavy containers onto the pier. The unloading process creates organized rows of cargo ready for transport to the nearby town. Other ships wait in the background while seagulls circle overhead and townspeople gather to watch the activity. Smaller fishing boats return with their daily catch as the sun sets behind the coastal buildings. a town with a harbor where ships load and unload cargo and goods
