Historic photos reveal Jacksonville's industrial riverfront in 1930

A collection of historic photographs from 1930 documents Jacksonville's working waterfront during a period when maritime and industrial activity defined the city's riverfront character.

The photographs were produced by the Jacksonville Port Bureau and the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, capturing the commercial and shipping operations along the St. Johns River in the urban core.

The images provide a visual record of Jacksonville's waterfront infrastructure and maritime industry as it existed nearly a century ago, according to The Jaxson, which published the collection.
