Title	Loading hogs onto the riverboat
Description	Several men are loading hogs from a chute or gangplank onto a riverboat. A pulley hoists the chute off of the bank. A white man wearing a suit stands at center, while a woman and two children, each wearing wide-brimmed hats, watch the scene from the side. Many of the laborers are African American. A corral is pictured in the background. This photograph is very similar to ID# 33002.
Historical note	It was common to send hogs off to slaughter by water rather than by land. If hogs were driven overland, they would lose weight, diminishing their value at market.
