I’m going guess WWII Navy Ammo Boxes seeing the navy man down there
They never heard of a Breakman!!!
All those heavy cargo boards, I remember handling those... After a while, you would get a stack as shown in the picture and yell up top, BOARDS OUT!
It wasn’t that long ago we were all still working the same.
Thank you sir!!!! 💯❤️
