A commercial quayside at Stavanger, Norway. The photographer is looking along the waterfront showing wooden-built vessels berthed bow-on or stern-on to the quayside. Stacks of split logs covered with tarpaulins are on the quay and a number of local men are standing by these stacks. The buildings fronting the quay are commercial premises and the names on some of them include Joh. Rasmussen & Racine A/S, Taugvaerk, Kaffe Rogaland, Hortevarer, Paul Paulsen and Sig. L. Olsen.
