Tinted lantern slide featuring a scene at a docking point on the Cross River, Calabar. Stands with thatched and corrugated iron roofs shelter wooden barrels of palm oil awaiting canoe transport down the Cross River to the coast. Workers can be seen in the image, and a dog sits in front of the thatched shelter. Palm oil was and is one of the largest exports of the Calabar state. This slide comes from a set on mission, culture and industry in Calabar, southeast Nigeria generated by the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland (which was incorporated with the Church of Scotland in 1929.)
