7. Thursday Island
Thursday Island
Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The metropolis of the pearl-fishing industry of the Pacific Ocean is Thursday Island. It lies in Torres Strait off the north coast of Queensland and is part of that state. Thursday Island is scarcely more than a tiny speck in Torres Strait, but owing to its excellent harbor it is a port of call for ships on their way through the passage. All the steamers that go about North Australia to Europe stop here. The harbor is large enough and deep enough for the biggest warships; it has been strongly fortified and has also a coaling station."
8. Wharves and Elevators, Buenos Aires
Wharves and Elevators, Buenos Aires
Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The docks of Buenos Aires, like those of our great lake city, are most impressive; they represent an outlay of $50,000,000. Only fifteen years ago the visitor was bundled ashore in a rowboat and deposited on a marshy beach. Now his vessel enters one of the numerous basins of the vast dock system and confronts row upon row of massive masonry and cement wharves, behind which spreads a network of railway lines. In the background are public gardens with flowering bushes and statuary to beautify the approach to the city. For mile after mile, flanked by a seemingly endless procession of great trans-Atlantic ships and up-river produce boats, these docks stretch their length, not in a series of ships, as along the congested water-front in New York but so arranged that the vessels can moor broadside to them and have their cargoes loaded or unloaded by enormous traveling cranes; and , without , lying at anchor in the river awaiting their turn for a berth, are many more--for this giant enterprise, with towering grain elevators and a veritable forest of powerful cranes, already fails entirely to satisfy present needs. They are not only to be extended but so enlarged that they will accommodate vessels of the heaviest draft."

Buenos Aires View of the Harbor
Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The harbor at Buenos Aires was not satisfactory, and on account of this fact a great deal of dredging has been done to deepen the water. A very excellent system of stone docks extends for miles along the water front. The Plate River is a shallow estuary and not like a real river. the land sank and the sea water came into the mouth of the river, just as it did when Chesapeake Bay was made."

Beyrout (Beirut), Syria
Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The city of Beyrout was formerly called Berytus. It was named after Julia Augusta Felix Berytus, the daughter Emperor Augustus. It has about 120,000 inhabitants 38 Christian churches. The Christian element is growing stronger every year. Being the most important city on the Syrian coast of the Mediterranean, it is quite natural that it should become the center of missionary work."
