#FlashbackFriday - September 1962. A view of intermodal container operations at Sea-Land Terminal. The ship (the Elizabethport) is an example of early container practices where a shipboard crane was used to off-load containers onto rail cars or trucks. Sea-Land and Matson were the first companies to utilize container methods at the Port of Oakland. This time marked the birth of the containerization era as well as the Port being the first major seaport on the West Coast to build marine terminals and invest in container cranes & ship containers. #portofoakland #intermodal
