Probably Photoshopped them the same as the rest of the photo.

What, you mean the photo is not for real.

We used to discharge cargo like that in Bonny, Nigeria., it's not photoshopped.

We did in most of the (then) Persian Gulf states too.

There's 300 illegal immigrants in there, their going to have a hell of a shock when they find out there not on a truck bound for Dover

Likewise off the coast of Ghana.. remember watching cargo vessels discgarging all manner of cargo into surf boats to get it ashore.
And often getting a good soaking before getting there...

It's the way he is sitting he's kinda on one bumcheek leaning over and his legs are tucked round behind him

Nope. Seen it with my own eyes.

Ditto

Yep. Zoom in and you can see his feet. Sort of

Seeing these containers being shifted like that reminded me of my days working on a mine in RSA during the 70s ,

I saw tasks being undertaken by humans that would be inconceivable today.. huge electrical transformers being manhandled across the bushveld on logs .. steel hoist cables, as thick as a man's arm being pulled up to the top of a mining shaft headgear by hand.. hundreds of black miners heaving and hauling it up the steep incline .. all singing and chanting.. it was mesmerising watching this cable, moving snake like to the beat of the song.

On the mine, when anything needed moving or lifting, no matter how big or heavy, the only question asked was how many people do you need ..

I stand corrected!

Unlike the man who seems to have no legs.

It` a different world out there, or at least was. We sailed that bit of the world on a regular basis after they closed SUEZ (6 Day war). We missed being locked in the bitter lakes by just 24hrs!. Others where not so lucky. When they finally freed the ships most went for scrap!.
